412 Overview of changes in GLib 2.67.1
413 ==================================
415 * Deprecate `g_time_zone_new()` in favour of `g_time_zone_new_identifier()`,
416 which makes error checking easier (#553)
418 * Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should
419 adjust your code to not use `volatile` for atomic variables, `GOnce`
420 variables, or mostly anything else (see
421 http://isvolatileusefulwiththreads.in/c/). (#600)
423 * Support passing file handles to `gdbus` command line tool (work by
424 Norbert Pocs and Tim Waugh) (#961)

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

1408 actually be installed (!1141)
1410 * Rework atomic function implementations to use memory barrier in the correct
1411 place (when compiler intrinsics aren’t providing the atomics), and fix
1412 signedness issues (#1449, #1565)
1414 * Use the OS’ `fdwalk()` function (if safe) to speed up `g_spawn_*()` on BSD (#1638)
1416 * Remove the macOS `dyld` `GModule` implementation in favour of `dl` instead (!1093)
1418 * Bump Python requirement to ≥ 3.5, which we implicitly relied on anyway through
1419 our Meson dependency (!1132)

1580 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)

1583 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)

1603 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
1605 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything

1608 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1610 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1611 of packaged libraries (!951)
1613 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

1772 * Improve network availability detection with NetworkManager to treat lower
1773 levels of connectivity as having reduced availability (!781)

1846 Overview of changes in GLib 2.61.0
1847 ==================================
1849 * Changes to `iconv` configure options, including the default iconv
1850 implementation on macOS — distributors may need to check their configure
1853 * Build fixes when building GLib with `G_DISABLE_ASSERT` defined (#1708)

1865 `GGtkNotificationBackend` (!745)
1867 * Use Windows symbol visibility when GLib is built on Cygwin, as PE binaries
1868 are subject to W32 visibility mechanics — this affects the definition of
1869 `_GLIB_EXTERN` (!752)
1871 * Add coloured output support to `gdbus introspect` (!761)

2085 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
2086 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
2087 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)
2089 * Add overlay support to g_resources_get_info(). (#1445)

2155 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
2156 ==================================
2158 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
2159 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
2160 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
2161 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
2163 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
2164 directory for each unit test. (#538)
2166 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
2168 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
2170 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
2172 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
2173 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
2174 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
2175 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
2177 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
2178 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
2180 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
2181 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
2182 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
2184 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
2186 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
2187 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
2190 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
2191 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
2193 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
2194 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
2195 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
2197 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
2198 portal backends. (!317)
2200 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
2203 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
2205 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
2208 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
2210 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
2213 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
2214 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
2215 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
2217 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
2218 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
2220 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
2221 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
2222 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
2223 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
2225 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
2227 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

2436 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
2437 ==================================
2439 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
2440 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
2441 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
2442 with Meson or autotools. See:
2443 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
2445 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
2447 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
2448 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
2450 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
2452 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
2454 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
2455 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
2456 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
2457 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
2460 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
2461 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
2462 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
2463 !265 Network monitor again
2464 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
2465 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
2466 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
2467 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
2468 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
2469 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
2471 * Translation updates:
2481 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
2482 ==================================
2484 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
2485 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
2486 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
2487 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
2489 * Many minor documentation fixes.
2491 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
2493 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
2495 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
2497 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
2498 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
2500 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
2502 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
2503 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
2504 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
2507 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
2509 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
2512 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
2513 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once

2547 #1446 Follow-up from "Document difference between g_assert() and g_assert_*() wrt G_DISABLE_ASSERT"
2548 !206 grefstring: Avoid an unnecessary NUL assignment
2549 #1458 g_volume_get_mount returns NULL value after g_volume_mount_finish is called with no error

3686 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
3687 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
3688 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through

3692 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
3693 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
3695 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
3696 environment variable.
3698 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
3699 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

3922 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
3923 ==================================
3925 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3926 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3927 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3928 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3930 This release corrects only this problem.
3932 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
3933 ==================================
3935 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3936 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3937 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
3939 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

4020 * Translation updates:
4028 Overview of changes in GLib 2.46.0
4029 ==================================
4031 * GTask no longer imposes a fixed limit on the number of tasks that
4032 can be run_in_thread() simultaneously, since doing this inevitably
4033 results in deadlocks in some use cases. Instead, it now has a base
4034 number of threads that can be used "for free", but will gradually
4035 add more threads to the pool if too much time passes without any
4038 The exact behavior may continue to change in the future, and it's
4039 possible that some future version of GLib may not do any
4040 rate-limiting at all. As a result, you should no longer assume that
4041 GTask will rate-limit tasks itself (or, by extension, that calls to
4042 certain async gio methods will automatically be rate-limited for
4043 you). If you have a very large number of tasks to run, and don't
4044 want them to all run at once, you should rate-limit them yourself.

4308 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
4310 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
4311 have seen major improvements.
4313 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
4314 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
4315 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
4318 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
4320 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
4322 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
4324 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
4325 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
4326 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
4327 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
4328 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
4329 you use the --strict option.
4331 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
4332 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
4333 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
4335 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
4337 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
4338 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
4339 default handlers for a generic supertype.

4384 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
4385 ===================================
4387 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
4388 before the release of 2.44.0.
4390 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
4392 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
4393 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
4394 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
4395 default in the next cycle.
4397 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
4399 * new GTask:completed property
4401 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
4402 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

4441 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
4442 ===================================
4444 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
4445 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
4446 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
4448 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
4449 effective busy state.
4451 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

4498 ==================================
4500 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
4501 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
4502 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
4504 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
4505 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.

4956 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
4957 =====================================================
4959 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
4961 * g_test_run() no longer runs tests in exactly the order they are
4962 registered; instead, it groups them according to test suites (ie,
4963 path components) like the documentation always claimed it did. In
4964 some cases, this can result in a sub-optimal ordering of tests,
4965 relative to the old behavior. The fix is to change the test paths to
4966 properly group together the tests that should run together. (eg, if
4967 you want to run test_foo_simple(), test_bar_simple(), and
4968 test_foo_using_bar() in that order, they should have test paths like
4969 "/simple/foo", "/simple/bar", "/complex/foo-using-bar", not
4970 "/foo/simple", "/bar/simple", "/foo/using-bar" (which would result
4971 in test_foo_using_bar() running before test_bar_simple()).
4973 (The behavior actually changed in GLib 2.36, but it was not
4974 documented at the time, since we didn't realize it mattered.)
4976 There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
4980 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()

4999 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
5000 =====================================================
5002 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
5003 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
5004 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
5005 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
5006 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
5007 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
5009 New API: g_str_to_ascii()

5262 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
5263 ====================================================
5265 * GSettings fixes/improvements
5267 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
5269 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
5270 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
5273 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
5274 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
5277 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
5279 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
5281 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
5284 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
5285 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
5287 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
5289 * Applications/Actions
5291 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
5292 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
5295 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
5296 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
5298 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
5299 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
5300 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
5301 not itself at fault for the errant call)
5305 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
5306 accesses that are performed in common situations
5308 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
5309 are installed/removed
5311 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
5312 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
5314 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
5315 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
5320 - ignore qualified tags, as above
5322 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
5323 that test programs don't pick them up
5325 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
5327 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
5328 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
5329 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
5330 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
5332 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
5333 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
5335 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
5336 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
5337 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
5341 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
5343 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
5345 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
5347 Translations updated:

5406 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
5407 them can restart the application with an action (via

5414 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
5416 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
5418 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
5419 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
5421 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
5423 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
5425 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
5426 actions and listing apps and actions
5428 - bash tab completion is supported
5430 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
5432 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
5433 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
5435 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
5436 DBusActivatable=true
5438 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
5439 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
5444 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
5446 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
5447 class and inotify backend
5449 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
5450 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
5452 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
5457 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
5458 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
5459 when there are invalid schemas installed
5461 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
5465 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
5466 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
5468 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
5471 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
5472 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
5473 semantics of the interface in each case
5475 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
5476 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
5478 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
5480 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
5481 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
5482 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
5483 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
5487 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
5490 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
5492 * Portability improvements
5494 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
5496 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
5497 actually support it (like Hurd)
5499 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
5501 * Other small API changes/additions
5503 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
5504 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
5505 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
5507 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
5509 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
5510 G_LOG_ERROR messages
5512 * GMainContext/GSource
5514 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
5516 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
5517 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
5518 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
5519 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
5520 broken and should probably be fixed.
5522 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
5523 require use of a linked list
5527 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
5528 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
5529 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
5531 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
5535 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
5536 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
5537 gphoto, archive, at least).
5539 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
5541 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
5544 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
5545 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
5546 (which shared exactly the same bug)
5548 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
5550 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
5552 * Many documentation improvements

5610 What's new in Glib 2.38
5611 ========================
5613 * Application support
5615 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5616 desktop entry specification
5618 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5619 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5620 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5622 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5623 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5624 to launch other applications
5626 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5627 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5631 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5632 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5633 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5634 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5635 any problems that this may have caused.
5637 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5638 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5639 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5640 (allowing memory savings)
5642 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
5643 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
5644 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
5646 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
5647 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5650 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5651 without destroying one of the objects involved
5655 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5656 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5657 with a finite number of cases
5659 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5660 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5662 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5663 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5664 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5665 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5668 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5672 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5673 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5674 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5676 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5678 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5679 and an API to check them
5681 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5682 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
5684 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
5685 with most functions, but this is not recommended
5689 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
5690 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
5691 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
5694 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
5695 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
5696 particular directory (akin to 'du').
5698 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
5703 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
5704 allow for regexp matching on streams
5706 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
5707 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
5708 g_variant_new_printf()
5712 - we can now generate TAP output
5714 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
5715 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
5717 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
5722 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

5845 ==============================================
5847 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
5848 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
5849 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
5850 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
5852 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
5853 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
5856 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
5858 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because

5941 ==============================================
5943 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
5944 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
5946 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
5947 and will trigger a warning.

5985 ==============================================
5987 * add support for installed tests:
5988 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests

5991 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
5993 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
5995 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
5997 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

6033 ==============================================
6035 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
6036 and a parser API for them is now provided
6038 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
6039 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
6040 instance because a long-running operation is pending.
6042 * GLib can now be built with the bionic C library

6100 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
6101 ==============================================
6103 * It is no longer necessary to call g_type_init(). If you are
6104 loading GLib as a dynamic module, you should be careful to avoid
6105 unloading it, then subsequently loading it again. This never
6106 really worked before, but it is now explicitly undefined behavior.
6107 Note that if g_type_init() was the only explicit use of a GObject
6108 API and you are using linker flags such as --no-add-needed, then
6109 you may have to artificially use some GObject call to keep the
6110 linker from optimizing away -lgobject. We recommend to use
6111 g_type_ensure (G_TYPE_OBJECT) for this purpose.
6113 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6114 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6115 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6116 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6117 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6119 * The 'flowinfo' and 'scope_id' fields of GInetSocketAddress
6120 (introduced in GLib 2.32) have been fixed to be in host byte order
6121 rather than network byte order. This is an incompatible change, but
6122 the previous behavior was clearly broken, so it seems unlikely that
6123 anyone was using it.
6125 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
6127 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
6128 the destination file
6130 - fix some 'available since' annotations
6132 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
6135 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code

6154 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
6155 ==============================================
6157 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
6158 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
6159 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
6160 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

6214 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
6215 ==============================================
6217 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
6218 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
6219 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
6220 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
6221 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report

6250 ==============================================
6252 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
6254 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
6255 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
6257 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
6258 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
6260 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
6273 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
6274 ==============================================
6276 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors

6280 ready at a specified monotonic time
6282 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked

6405 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME

6407 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the

6410 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
6411 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
6412 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in

6460 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
6461 ==============================================
6463 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
6464 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
6465 causing regressions in applications.
6467 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
6468 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
6469 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
6472 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
6473 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
6474 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
6476 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
6478 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
6480 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
6482 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
6484 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
6486 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
6488 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
6490 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
6492 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
6494 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

6547 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
6548 give feedback if they cause trouble:
6550 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
6551 automatically disconnected on target object destruction

7105 * Updated translations:
7132 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.22 to 2.32.0
7133 ===============================================
7135 * It is no longer necessary to use g_thread_init() or to link against
7136 libgthread. libglib is now always thread-enabled. Custom thread
7137 system implementations are no longer supported (including errorcheck
7140 * The thread and synchronisation APIs have been updated.
7141 GMutex and GCond can be statically allocated without explicit
7142 initialisation, as can new types GRWLock and GRecMutex. The
7143 GStatic_______ variants of these types have been deprecated. GPrivate
7144 can also be statically allocated and has a nicer API (deprecating
7145 GStaticPrivate). Finally, g_thread_create() has been replaced with a
7146 substantially simplified g_thread_new().
7148 * The g_once_init_enter()/_leave() functions have been replaced with
7149 macros that allow for a pointer to any gsize-sized object, not just a
7150 gsize*. The assertions to ensure that a pointer to a correctly-sized
7151 object is being used will not work with generic pointers (ie: (void*)
7152 and (gpointer) casts) which would have worked with the old version.
7154 * It is now mandatory to include glib.h instead of individual headers.
7156 * The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
7158 * For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public
7159 dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been
7160 private). This means that programs got away with calling
7161 g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their
7164 gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause
7165 such programs to break.
7167 The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency
7168 on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib
7169 versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init().
7171 * g_debug() output is no longer enabled by default. It can be enabled
7172 on a per-domain basis with the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable
7174 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=domain1,domain2
7176 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all

7441 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
7442 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
7443 to an overridden property
7444 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
7445 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
7447 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
7448 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

7492 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
7493 ==============================================
7495 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
7496 moved to GtkApplication.
7498 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
7499 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
7500 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
7501 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
7503 * lots of documentation improvements
7505 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
7507 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
7508 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
7510 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
7512 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
7514 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
7516 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
7517 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
7520 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
7521 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

7525 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
7526 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

7529 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
7530 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
7532 * Translations updated:
7536 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
7537 ==============================================
7539 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
7540 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
7541 There have also been many related improvements to action group
7544 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
7545 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
7546 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
7549 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
7550 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
7551 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
7552 through an idle on the context.
7554 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
7555 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
7556 fixes here and there.
7558 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
7559 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
7560 API available outside GLib
7562 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

7601 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
7603 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
7604 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
7605 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
7607 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
7610 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
7611 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
7612 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
7615 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
7616 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
7619 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
7622 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
7623 - various GIO file and stream fixes
7624 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
7626 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
7627 =================================================
7629 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
7630 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
7632 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
7633 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
7634 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
7635 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
7636 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
7637 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
7638 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
7639 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
7640 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
7641 required (and has been deprecated)
7642 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
7643 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
7644 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
7645 without explicit initialisation.
7646 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
7647 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
7648 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
7650 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
7651 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
7652 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
7653 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
7654 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
7655 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
7656 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
7658 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
7659 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
7660 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
7661 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
7662 - GThread is now a refcounted type
7663 - other implementation details changed
7665 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
7666 deprecated/ directory.
7668 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
7669 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
7670 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
7672 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
7673 platform over a year ago).
7675 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
7676 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
7678 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
7679 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
7681 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
7682 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
7683 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
7684 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
7687 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
7688 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
7691 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
7693 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
7694 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
7696 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
7697 in a multi-threaded program
7699 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
7700 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
7703 - drop -uninstalled variants
7704 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
7706 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
7707 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
7708 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
7710 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
7712 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
7713 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
7716 - many code generation updates and improvements
7717 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
7720 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
7721 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
7723 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
7725 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
7728 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
7729 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
7731 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
7732 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
7734 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
7736 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
7740 * Partial list of bugs closed:
7741 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

7855 * GObject includes a generic marshaller, g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
7856 To use it, simply specify NULL as the marshaller in g_signal_new().
7857 The generic marshaller is implemented with libffi, and consequently
7858 GObject depends on libffi now.
7861 - unix signal watches now match the API of all of the other sources
7862 - revert the addition of g_date_time_source_new () from last release
7864 * networking and other fixes for Solaris
7865 - we no longer support symbolic port names (ie: from /etc/services)
7866 - check if -lsocket is needed
7867 - fix g_socket_details_from_fd()
7869 - fix some harmless warnings
7871 * GDateTime improvements:
7872 - generally improved standards compliance (with C99)
7873 - support C99-specified format strings: %g, %G, %V, %c, %C, %w
7874 - consult the locale for the preferred 12-hour time format (%r)
7875 - drop support for non-standard %N and broken %W
7876 - better support for formatting non-POSIX (eg: Arabic) numerals
7877 - locale-related test case fixups, and fix some leaks

8172 ==============================================
8174 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
8175 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
8176 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
8177 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
8178 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
8179 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.

8239 * Updated translations:
8248 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
8249 ==============================================
8252 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
8253 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
8254 an 'object manager' pattern:
8255 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
8256 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
8257 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
8258 And server-side implementations:
8259 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
8260 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
8261 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
8265 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
8269 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
8270 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
8271 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
8272 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
8275 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
8276 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
8279 * Unix-specific APIs:
8280 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
8281 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
8282 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
8283 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
8284 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
8285 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

8316 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
8317 ==============================================
8320 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
8321 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
8322 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
8325 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
8326 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
8327 situations has been improved
8330 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
8331 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
8334 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
8335 match strcmp() semantics
8336 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
8337 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
8338 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
8340 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
8341 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
8344 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
8346 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
8348 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
8349 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
8350 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

8632 ==============================================
8634 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
8635 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as

8685 - Support environment passing
8688 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
8689 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
8691 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
8692 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
8693 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
8697 158725 free linked list with data

8710 * Translation updates:
8716 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
8717 ==============================================
8719 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
8720 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
8722 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
8723 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
8725 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
8727 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
8729 g_settings_get_range
8730 g_settings_range_check
8731 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
8733 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
8734 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
8736 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
8737 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
8739 g_main_context_invoke
8740 g_main_context_invoke_full
8742 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
8743 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
8744 looking for default applications.
8746 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
8747 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
8748 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
8749 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
8751 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
8752 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
8753 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

9014 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
9015 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
9016 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
9017 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
9020 There have been many other improvements, however:
9023 - vastly improved test coverage
9024 - old tests moved to the gtester framework

9044 without mapping functions
9045 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
9048 - improve closure support for bindings
9049 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
9052 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility

9143 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
9144 =====================================================
9146 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9147 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
9148 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
9149 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
9150 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9153 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
9154 -Bsymbolic-functions
9155 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
9156 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
9157 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
9158 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
9159 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9162 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
9163 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
9164 nobody was doing that.
9165 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
9167 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
9168 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
9170 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
9171 have a serial number
9172 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
9174 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
9176 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
9177 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
9178 has finished running on GDBus services.
9179 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
9180 this due to the obvious race)
9181 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
9182 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
9185 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
9186 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
9187 arguments and different behaviour
9188 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
9189 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
9190 strings instead of utf8 strings
9191 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
9192 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
9193 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
9194 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
9195 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
9196 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
9197 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
9198 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
9199 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
9202 - improved documentation
9203 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
9204 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
9205 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
9206 overridden using <override>.
9207 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
9209 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
9210 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
9211 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
9212 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
9213 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
9214 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
9215 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
9216 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
9217 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
9218 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
9219 being set due to a premature free
9220 - command line tool: bash completion support
9221 - chain up in _finalize
9222 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
9224 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
9225 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
9226 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
9228 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
9229 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
9230 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
9231 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
9232 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
9236 - always intern GBinding prop names
9237 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
9238 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
9239 - GNode docs improvements
9240 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
9241 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
9242 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
9246 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
9247 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
9248 - improved tests for GKeyfile
9249 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
9250 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
9251 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
9252 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
9253 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
9255 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
9256 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
9257 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9258 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
9259 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
9260 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
9261 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
9262 610784 array test failing
9263 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
9264 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

9665 * The GSettings framework has been merged. This provides the API to
9666 replace GConf. DConf will provide a backend implementation for it.
9667 GConf will also provide a backend implementation to ease the
9668 transition. We provide utilities to assist with schema conversion
9669 and data migration, as well as a porting guide.
9671 * Translation updates:
9681 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.6 to GLib 2.24.0
9682 ===================================================
9684 * It is now allowed to call g_thread_init(NULL) multiple times, and
9685 to call glib functions before g_thread_init(NULL) is called
9686 (although the later is mainly a change in docs as this worked before
9687 too). See the GThread reference documentation for the details.
9689 * GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
9690 when g_type_init() is called.
9692 * GObject no longer allows to call g_object_set() on construct-only properties
9693 while an object is being initialized. If this behavior is needed, setting a
9694 custom constructor that just chains up will re-enable this functionality.
9696 * GMappedFile on an empty file now returns NULL for the contents instead of
9697 returning an empty string. The documentation specifically states that code
9698 may not rely on nul-termination here so any breakage caused by this change
9699 is a bug in application code.

9873 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
9875 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
9876 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
9877 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
9879 * Threading changes:
9880 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
9881 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first

9962 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.22.x to GLib 2.23.0
9963 ===================================================
9966 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
9967 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
9968 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
9969 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
9970 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
9971 while loading or saving it.
9972 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
9973 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
9974 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
9977 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
9978 interfaces to dynamic types.

10422 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.19.9 to GLib 2.20.0
10423 ===================================================
10425 * The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() +
10426 friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs
10427 with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26,
10428 FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile
10429 constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate
10430 POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale. The
10431 only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an
10432 URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of
10433 looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at
10434 the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile
10435 object with the given URI.
10437 * Base64 support: Avoid integer overflows. CVE-2008-4316

10717 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
10718 ===================================================
10720 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
10721 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
10722 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
10723 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
10724 also uses less memory overall.
10726 * Make g_poll available as public api
10728 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
10729 that a GError is set or unset
10731 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
10733 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
10734 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
10736 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,

10814 ===================================================
10816 * The recommended way of using GLib has always been to only include the
10817 toplevel headers glib.h, glib-object.h and gio.h. GLib enforces this by
10818 generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
10819 To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
10820 default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
10821 To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.

12147 322476 Missing check for .dylib [Vladimir Panov]
12148 333651 Inconsistent _g_charset_get_aliases prototype [Julio
12150 333761 GInitiallyUnowned breaks application code [Sven Herzberg]
12153 - Fix g_listenv() implementation.
12154 - Allow up to 100 GPrivate structs
12156 * Translation updates (fr,hu,lt,pl,sv)
12159 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.6 to GLib 2.10.0
12160 ==================================================
12162 * The functions g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf() have been removed from
12163 the gprintf.h header, since they are already declared in glib.h. This
12164 doesn't break documented use of gprintf.h, but people have been known
12165 to include gprintf.h without including glib.h.
12167 * The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. This adds several
12168 new members to the GUnicodeBreakType enumeration.
12170 * The support for Solaris threads has been retired. Solaris has provided
12171 POSIX threads for long enough now to have them available on every
12174 * 'make check' has been changed to validate translations by calling
12175 msgfmt with the -c option. As a result, it may fail on systems with
12176 older gettext implementations (GNU gettext < 0.14.1, or Solaris gettext).
12177 'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not
12178 support ELF visibility attributes.
12180 * The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice
12181 allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details.
12183 * A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
12184 intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
12185 concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
12186 inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
12187 bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
12188 system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
12189 carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
12190 to help with the transition.

12348 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
12349 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
12352 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
12355 - Support for Solaris threads has been removed
12356 [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
12357 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
12358 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
12359 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
12360 variants [Martyn Russell]
12363 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
12364 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
12367 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
12370 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
12371 constants [Andrew Paprocki]

12391 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
12392 =================================================
12394 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
12395 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
12396 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
12398 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
12399 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
12402 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
12403 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
12404 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
12405 "stutter stepping".
12406 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
12408 * Memory management:
12409 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
12410 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
12411 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
12412 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
12413 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
12414 never worked as intended.
12415 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
12416 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
12417 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
12418 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
12419 efficient and scalable implementation.
12420 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
12422 * Pattern matching:
12423 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
12424 unnecessary recursion.
12427 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
12428 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
12429 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
12432 * g_thread_foreach:
12433 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
12436 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
12437 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
12438 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
12442 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
12443 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
12444 since they are in glib.h

12463 v_long, not v_int, in order to work on bigendian
12465 * Make g_flags_get_first_value() handle a value
12466 of 0 meaningfully. [Tim-Philipp Müller]

12623 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
12624 =================================================
12626 * GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of 'GLib filename encoding', which is the
12627 on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. All GLib functions
12628 returning or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect
12629 filenames in this encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing
12630 with pathnames have been wrapped. These wrappers are declared in the
12631 header <glib/gstdio.h> which must be included explicitly; it is not
12632 included through <glib.h>.
12634 On current (NT-based) Windows versions, where the on-disk file names
12635 are Unicode, these wrappers use the wide-character API in the C
12636 library. Thus applications can handle file names containing any
12637 Unicode characters through GLib's own API and its POSIX wrappers,
12638 not just file names restricted to characters in the system codepage.
12640 To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against
12641 older versions of GLib, the Windows DLL still provides entry points
12642 with the old semantics using the old names, and applications
12643 compiled against GLib 2.6 will actually use new names for the
12644 functions. This is transparent to the programmer.
12646 When compiling against GLib 2.6, applications intended to be
12647 portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into
12648 consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose
12649 names have been constructed from strings returned from GLib.
12651 * Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed
12652 to return UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for
12653 applications compiled against older versions of GLib.
12655 * The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
12656 must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
12657 with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not.
12658 In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that,
12659 GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed
12660 header files and were never intended to be exported.
12662 * To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GLib, when compiled
12663 with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
12664 points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
12665 IA__, may be seen when debugging a GLib program.
12667 * On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window when printing
12668 warning messages if stdout or stderr are invalid, as they are in
12669 "Windows subsystem" (GUI) applications. Simply redirect stdout or
12670 stderr if you need to see them.
12672 * The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many
12673 thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads
12674 implementation on Linux) where it's not possible to call waitpid()
12675 for a child created in a different thread. For this reason, for
12676 maximum portability, you should structure your code to fork all
12677 child processes that you want to wait for from the main thread.
12679 * A problem was recently discovered with g_signal_connect_object();
12680 it doesn't actually disconnect the signal handler once the object being
12681 connected to dies, just disables it. See the API docs for the function
12682 for further details and the correct workaround that will continue to
12683 work with future versions of GLib.
12686 - GOption, a commandline option parser
12687 - GKeyFile, a parser/editor for the .ini like files
12688 - Functions to support the XDG basedir specification
12689 - Wrappers for common POSIX pathname functions to handle filename
12690 encodings consistently. On Windows, these use UTF-8.
12692 * Miscellaneous new functions
12693 - g_filename_display_name() converts filenames in displayable UTF-8 strings
12694 - g_uri_list_extract_uris() splits uri lists
12695 - g_date_get_iso8601_week_of_year() gets ISO 8601 week numbers

12698 - g_strv_length() calculates the length of NULL-terminated string arrays
12699 - g_win32_get_windows_version() determines the Windows version
12700 - G_GNUC_INTERNAL marks functions as non-exported
12701 - glib_check_version() checks the GLib version at runtime
12702 - g_debug() completes the family of logging functions
12704 * Performance improvements

12709 - Reduce code size by removing literal strings from g_return_if_fail()
12712 - On Windows, GLib functions that take file name arguments now require
12713 those to be in UTF-8. Functions that return file names return UTF-8.
12714 - Use higher precision for mathematical constants
12715 - Don't convert to/from UTF-8 in g_filename_to_uri/g_filename_from_uri
