686 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.5
687 ==================================
689 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
690 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
691 is unavailable or undesired.
693 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
694 glib-networking will also be required.
696 * GDBusMethodInvocation now drops replies if the sender set the
697 NO_REPLY_EXPECTED flag

748 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
749 ==================================
751 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
752 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
753 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
754 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
756 This release corrects only this problem.
758 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
759 ==================================
761 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
762 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
763 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
765 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1111 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1112 ==================================
1114 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1115 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1116 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1117 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1118 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1119 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1121 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1122 have seen major improvements.
1124 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1125 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1126 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1129 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1131 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1133 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1135 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1136 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1137 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1138 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1139 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1140 you use the --strict option.
1142 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1143 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1144 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1146 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1148 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1149 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1150 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1196 ===================================
1198 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1199 before the release of 2.44.0.
1201 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1203 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1204 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1205 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1206 default in the next cycle.
1208 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
1210 * new GTask:completed property
1212 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
1213 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

1252 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
1253 ===================================
1255 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
1256 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1257 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1259 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1260 effective busy state.
1262 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

1311 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
1312 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
1313 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
1315 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
1316 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.

2051 * Translations updates:
2058 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2059 ====================================================
2061 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2063 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2065 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2066 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2069 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2070 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2073 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2075 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2077 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2080 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2081 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2083 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2085 * Applications/Actions
2087 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2088 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2091 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2092 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2094 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2095 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2096 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2097 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2101 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2102 accesses that are performed in common situations
2104 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2105 are installed/removed
2107 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2108 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2110 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2111 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2116 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2118 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2119 that test programs don't pick them up
2121 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2123 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2124 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2125 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2126 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2128 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2129 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2131 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2132 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2133 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2137 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2139 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2141 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2143 Translations updated:
2151 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

2155 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
2156 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
2157 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is

2159 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata

2161 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
2162 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
2163 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

2193 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2194 ====================================================
2196 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2200 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2202 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2203 them can restart the application with an action (via
2208 - new API for launching subprocesses
2210 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2212 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2214 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2215 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2217 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2219 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2221 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2222 actions and listing apps and actions
2224 - bash tab completion is supported
2226 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2228 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2229 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2231 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2232 DBusActivatable=true
2234 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2235 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2240 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2242 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2243 class and inotify backend
2245 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2246 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2248 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2253 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2254 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2255 when there are invalid schemas installed
2257 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2261 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2262 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2264 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2267 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2268 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2269 semantics of the interface in each case
2271 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2272 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2274 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2276 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2277 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2278 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2279 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2283 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2286 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2288 * Portability improvements
2290 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2292 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2293 actually support it (like Hurd)
2295 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2297 * Other small API changes/additions
2299 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2300 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2301 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2303 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2305 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2306 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2308 * GMainContext/GSource
2310 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2312 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2313 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2314 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2315 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2316 broken and should probably be fixed.
2318 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2319 require use of a linked list
2323 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2324 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2325 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2327 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2331 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2332 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2333 gphoto, archive, at least).
2335 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2337 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2340 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2341 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2342 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2344 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2346 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2348 * Many documentation improvements
2351 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2352 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2353 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

2406 What's new in Glib 2.38
2407 ========================
2409 * Application support
2411 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2412 desktop entry specification
2414 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2415 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2416 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2418 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2419 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2420 to launch other applications
2422 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2423 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2427 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2428 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2429 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2430 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2431 any problems that this may have caused.
2433 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2434 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2435 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2436 (allowing memory savings)
2438 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2439 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2440 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2442 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2443 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2446 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2447 without destroying one of the objects involved
2451 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2452 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2453 with a finite number of cases
2455 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2456 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2458 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2459 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2460 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2461 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2464 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2468 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2469 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2470 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2472 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2474 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2475 and an API to check them
2477 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2478 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2480 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2481 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2485 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2486 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2487 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2490 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2491 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2492 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2494 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2499 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2500 allow for regexp matching on streams
2502 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2503 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2504 g_variant_new_printf()
2508 - we can now generate TAP output
2510 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2511 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2513 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2518 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2643 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2644 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2645 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2646 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

2829 ==============================================
2831 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2832 and a parser API for them is now provided
2834 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2835 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
2836 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

2988 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
2989 ==============================================
2991 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
2992 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
2993 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
2994 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
2995 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
2999 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3000 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3002 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
3003 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
3004 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
3005 * documentation fixes
3006 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
3009 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.
3010 692827 configure test fails for arpa_nameser.h
3011 692829 new Btrfs support causes build failure on Solaris
3012 693285 GDBusObjectManagerClient: won't emit object-added|removed if name-owner arrives later

3160 * Translation updates:
3175 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3176 ==============================================
3178 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3179 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3180 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3181 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3182 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3184 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3185 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3186 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3187 particular, are incompatible.
3189 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3223 * Translation updates:
3234 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3235 ==============================================
3237 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3238 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3239 causing regressions in applications.
3241 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3242 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3243 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3246 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3247 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3248 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3250 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3252 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3254 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3256 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3258 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3260 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3262 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3264 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3266 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3268 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3319 ==============================================
3321 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3322 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3324 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3325 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3327 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3329 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

4222 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4223 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4224 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4225 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4227 * lots of documentation improvements
4229 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4231 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs

4260 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4261 ==============================================
4263 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4264 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4265 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4268 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4269 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4270 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4273 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4274 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4275 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4276 through an idle on the context.
4278 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4279 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4280 fixes here and there.
4282 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4283 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4284 API available outside GLib
4286 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4321 ==============================================
4323 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
4325 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
4327 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4328 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4329 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4331 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4334 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4335 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
4336 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
4339 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
4340 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
4343 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
4346 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
4347 - various GIO file and stream fixes
4348 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
4350 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4351 =================================================
4353 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4354 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4356 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4357 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4358 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4359 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4360 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4361 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4362 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4363 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4364 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4365 required (and has been deprecated)
4366 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4367 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4368 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4369 without explicit initialisation.
4370 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4371 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4372 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4374 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4375 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4376 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4377 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4378 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4379 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4380 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4382 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4383 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4384 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4385 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4386 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4387 - other implementation details changed
4389 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4390 deprecated/ directory.
4392 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4393 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4394 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4396 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4397 platform over a year ago).
4399 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4400 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4402 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4403 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4405 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4406 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4407 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4408 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4411 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4412 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4415 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4417 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4418 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4420 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4421 in a multi-threaded program
4423 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4424 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4427 - drop -uninstalled variants
4428 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4430 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4431 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4432 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4434 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4436 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4437 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4440 - many code generation updates and improvements
4441 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4444 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4445 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4447 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4449 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4452 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4453 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4455 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4456 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4458 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4460 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4464 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4465 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

4890 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
4891 ==============================================
4893 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
4894 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
4895 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
4896 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
4897 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
4898 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
4900 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
4901 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
4903 * Access to quarks is now lockless
4905 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
4907 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

4958 * Updated translations:
4967 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
4968 ==============================================
4971 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
4972 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
4973 an 'object manager' pattern:
4974 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
4975 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
4976 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
4977 And server-side implementations:
4978 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
4979 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
4980 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
4984 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
4988 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
4989 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
4990 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
4991 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
4994 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
4995 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
4998 * Unix-specific APIs:
4999 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5000 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5001 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5002 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5003 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5004 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5022 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
5023 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

5026 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
5028 * Updated translations
5035 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5036 ==============================================
5039 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5040 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5041 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5044 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5045 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5046 situations has been improved
5049 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5050 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5053 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5054 match strcmp() semantics
5055 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5056 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5057 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5059 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5060 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5063 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5065 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5067 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5068 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5069 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5395 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
5396 ==============================================
5399 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
5400 - Support environment passing
5403 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5404 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5406 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5407 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5408 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5412 158725 free linked list with data
5413 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
5414 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError
5415 629274 GNetworkService does not do fallback when there is no SRV record
5416 631264 gsettings-tool choice/range support
5417 631482 g_date_time_from_instant: 1000000000000000000
5418 632169 docs for manual use of gsettings-data-convert
5419 632571 Add equivalent to gconftool-2's -R option
5420 633115 GSettings m4 doesn't fail the build for broken schemas

5422 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
5423 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
5425 * Translation updates:
5431 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5432 ==============================================
5434 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5435 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5437 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5438 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5440 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5442 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5444 g_settings_get_range
5445 g_settings_range_check
5446 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5448 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5449 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5451 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5452 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5454 g_main_context_invoke
5455 g_main_context_invoke_full
5457 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5458 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5459 looking for default applications.
5461 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5462 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5463 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5464 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5466 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5467 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5468 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5723 =====================================================
5725 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5726 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5727 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5729 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5730 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5731 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5732 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5735 There have been many other improvements, however:
5738 - vastly improved test coverage
5739 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5740 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5741 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
5744 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

5759 without mapping functions
5760 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation

5790 =====================================================
5792 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5793 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5794 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5795 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5796 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5797 | required (and will be along soon). |
5798 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5801 - cleanup automake setup
5802 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
5803 - various docs fixups
5804 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

5811 - add g_settings_reset()
5812 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
5815 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

5820 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
5821 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
5822 - constness fixes for introspection structures
5823 - clean ups to subtree registration API
5826 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

5830 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
5831 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
5834 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
5835 617483 Credentials passing

5859 =====================================================
5861 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5862 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
5863 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
5864 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
5865 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5868 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
5869 -Bsymbolic-functions
5870 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
5871 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
5872 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
5873 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
5874 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5877 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
5878 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
5879 nobody was doing that.
5880 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
5882 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
5883 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
5885 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
5886 have a serial number
5887 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
5889 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
5891 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
5892 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
5893 has finished running on GDBus services.
5894 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
5895 this due to the obvious race)
5896 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
5897 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
5900 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
5901 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
5902 arguments and different behaviour
5903 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
5904 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
5905 strings instead of utf8 strings
5906 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
5907 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
5908 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
5909 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
5910 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
5911 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
5912 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
5913 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
5914 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
5917 - improved documentation
5918 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
5919 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
5920 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
5921 overridden using <override>.
5922 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
5924 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
5925 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
5926 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
5927 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
5928 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
5929 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
5930 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
5931 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
5932 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
5933 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
5934 being set due to a premature free
5935 - command line tool: bash completion support
5936 - chain up in _finalize
5937 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
5939 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
5940 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
5941 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
5943 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
5944 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
5945 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
5946 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
5947 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
5951 - always intern GBinding prop names
5952 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
5953 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
5954 - GNode docs improvements
5955 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
5956 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
5957 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
5961 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
5962 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
5963 - improved tests for GKeyfile
5964 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
5965 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
5966 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
5967 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
5968 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
5970 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
5971 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
5972 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5973 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
5974 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
5975 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
5976 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

6661 ===================================================
6664 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6665 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6666 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6667 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6668 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6669 while loading or saving it.
6670 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6671 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6672 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6675 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6676 interfaces to dynamic types.
6679 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
6680 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
6681 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

7399 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
7400 ===================================================
7402 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
7403 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
7404 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
7405 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
7406 also uses less memory overall.
7408 * Make g_poll available as public api
7410 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
7411 that a GError is set or unset
7413 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7415 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7416 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7418 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7419 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

9077 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
9078 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
9079 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
9083 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
9084 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
