914 ==================================
916 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
917 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
918 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
919 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.

922 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
923 uses prctl() but the pthread api.

926 environment variable.

1122 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.4
1123 ==================================
1125 * The GApplication documentation has been improved in several areas.

1148 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
1149 ==================================
1151 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
1152 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
1153 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
1154 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
1156 This release corrects only this problem.
1158 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
1159 ==================================
1161 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
1162 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
1163 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
1165 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1511 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1512 ==================================
1514 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1515 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1516 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1517 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1518 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1519 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1521 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1522 have seen major improvements.
1524 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1525 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1526 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1529 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1531 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1533 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1535 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1536 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1537 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1538 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1539 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1540 you use the --strict option.
1542 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1543 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1544 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1546 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1548 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1549 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1550 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1633 ===================================
1635 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1636 before the release of 2.44.0.
1638 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1640 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1641 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1642 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1643 default in the next cycle.

2235 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
2236 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
2237 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
2238 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
2239 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
2240 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2488 * Translations updates:
2495 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2496 ====================================================
2498 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2500 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2502 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2503 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2506 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2507 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2510 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2512 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2514 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2517 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2518 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2520 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2522 * Applications/Actions
2524 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2525 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2528 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2529 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2531 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2532 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2533 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2534 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2538 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2539 accesses that are performed in common situations
2541 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2542 are installed/removed
2544 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2545 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2547 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2548 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2553 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2555 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2556 that test programs don't pick them up
2558 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2560 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2561 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2562 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2563 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2565 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2566 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2568 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2569 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2570 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2574 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2576 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2578 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2580 Translations updated:
2588 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

2596 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata

2598 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
2599 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
2600 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

2630 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2631 ====================================================
2633 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2637 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2639 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2640 them can restart the application with an action (via
2645 - new API for launching subprocesses
2647 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2649 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2651 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2652 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2654 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2656 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2658 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2659 actions and listing apps and actions
2661 - bash tab completion is supported
2663 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2665 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2666 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2668 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2669 DBusActivatable=true
2671 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2672 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2677 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2679 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2680 class and inotify backend
2682 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2683 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2685 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2690 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2691 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2692 when there are invalid schemas installed
2694 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2698 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2699 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2701 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2704 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2705 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2706 semantics of the interface in each case
2708 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2709 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2711 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2713 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2714 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2715 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2716 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2720 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2723 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2725 * Portability improvements
2727 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2729 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2730 actually support it (like Hurd)
2732 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2734 * Other small API changes/additions
2736 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2737 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2738 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2740 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2742 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2743 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2745 * GMainContext/GSource
2747 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2749 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2750 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2751 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2752 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2753 broken and should probably be fixed.
2755 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2756 require use of a linked list
2760 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2761 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2762 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2764 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2768 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2769 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2770 gphoto, archive, at least).
2772 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2774 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2777 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2778 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2779 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2781 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2783 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2785 * Many documentation improvements
2788 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing

2843 What's new in Glib 2.38
2844 ========================
2846 * Application support
2848 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2849 desktop entry specification
2851 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2852 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2853 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2855 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2856 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2857 to launch other applications
2859 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2860 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2864 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2865 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2866 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2867 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2868 any problems that this may have caused.
2870 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2871 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2872 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2873 (allowing memory savings)
2875 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2876 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2877 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2879 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2880 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2883 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2884 without destroying one of the objects involved
2888 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2889 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2890 with a finite number of cases
2892 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2893 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2895 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2896 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2897 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2898 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2901 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2905 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2906 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2907 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2909 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2911 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2912 and an API to check them
2914 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2915 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2917 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2918 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2922 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2923 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2924 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2927 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2928 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2929 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2931 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2936 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2937 allow for regexp matching on streams
2939 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2940 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2941 g_variant_new_printf()
2945 - we can now generate TAP output
2947 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2948 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2950 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2955 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3080 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
3081 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
3082 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3083 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

3265 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
3266 ==============================================
3268 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3269 and a parser API for them is now provided
3271 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3272 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3273 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3425 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3426 ==============================================
3428 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3429 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3430 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3431 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3432 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3436 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3437 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3439 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
3440 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
3441 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
3442 * documentation fixes
3443 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
3446 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

3460 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
3461 ==============================================
3463 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3465 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3466 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3468 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3469 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3471 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3484 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3485 ==============================================
3487 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3490 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3491 ready at a specified monotonic time
3493 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3495 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
3498 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
3499 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

3597 * Translation updates:
3612 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3613 ==============================================
3615 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3616 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3617 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3618 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3619 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3621 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3622 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3623 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3624 particular, are incompatible.
3626 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3660 * Translation updates:
3671 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3672 ==============================================
3674 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3675 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3676 causing regressions in applications.
3678 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3679 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3680 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3683 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3684 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3685 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3687 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3689 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3691 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3693 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3695 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3697 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3699 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3701 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3703 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3705 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3755 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
3756 ==============================================
3758 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3759 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3761 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3762 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3764 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3766 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
3768 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
3770 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed

4602 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4603 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4604 to an overridden property
4605 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4606 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4608 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4609 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

4654 ==============================================
4656 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4657 moved to GtkApplication.
4659 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4660 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4661 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4662 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4664 * lots of documentation improvements
4666 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4668 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4669 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4671 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4673 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4675 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4677 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4678 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)

4697 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4698 ==============================================
4700 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4701 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4702 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4705 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4706 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4707 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4710 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4711 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4712 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4713 through an idle on the context.
4715 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4716 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4717 fixes here and there.
4719 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4720 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4721 API available outside GLib

4758 ==============================================
4760 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
4762 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
4764 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4765 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4766 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4768 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4771 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4772 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
4773 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
4776 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
4777 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
4780 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
4783 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
4784 - various GIO file and stream fixes
4785 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
4787 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4788 =================================================
4790 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4791 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4793 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4794 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4795 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4796 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4797 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4798 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4799 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4800 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4801 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4802 required (and has been deprecated)
4803 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4804 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4805 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4806 without explicit initialisation.
4807 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4808 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4809 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4811 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4812 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4813 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4814 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4815 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4816 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4817 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4819 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4820 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4821 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4822 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4823 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4824 - other implementation details changed
4826 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4827 deprecated/ directory.
4829 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4830 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4831 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4833 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4834 platform over a year ago).
4836 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4837 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4839 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4840 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4842 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4843 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4844 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4845 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4848 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4849 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4852 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4854 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4855 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4857 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4858 in a multi-threaded program
4860 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4861 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4864 - drop -uninstalled variants
4865 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4867 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4868 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4869 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4871 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4873 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4874 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4877 - many code generation updates and improvements
4878 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4881 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4882 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4884 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4886 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4889 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4890 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4892 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4893 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4895 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4897 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4901 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4902 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5327 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
5328 ==============================================
5330 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5331 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5332 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5333 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5334 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5335 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5337 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5338 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5340 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5342 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
5344 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
5346 * Introspection improvements:

5395 * Updated translations:
5404 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5405 ==============================================
5408 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5409 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5410 an 'object manager' pattern:
5411 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5412 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5413 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5414 And server-side implementations:
5415 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5416 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5417 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5421 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5425 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5426 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5427 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5428 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5431 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5432 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5435 * Unix-specific APIs:
5436 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5437 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5438 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5439 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5440 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5441 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5458 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
5459 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
5460 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

5463 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
5465 * Updated translations
5472 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5473 ==============================================
5476 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5477 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5478 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5481 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5482 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5483 situations has been improved
5486 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5487 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5490 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5491 match strcmp() semantics
5492 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5493 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5494 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5496 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5497 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5500 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5502 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5504 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5505 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5506 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5868 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5869 ==============================================
5871 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5872 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5874 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5875 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5877 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5879 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5881 g_settings_get_range
5882 g_settings_range_check
5883 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5885 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5886 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5888 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5889 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5891 g_main_context_invoke
5892 g_main_context_invoke_full
5894 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5895 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5896 looking for default applications.
5898 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5899 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5900 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5901 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5903 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5904 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5905 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

6160 =====================================================
6162 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6163 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
6164 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6166 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
6167 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
6168 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
6169 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
6172 There have been many other improvements, however:
6175 - vastly improved test coverage
6176 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
6177 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
6178 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

6227 =====================================================
6229 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6230 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
6231 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
6232 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
6233 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
6234 | required (and will be along soon). |
6235 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6238 - cleanup automake setup
6239 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
6240 - various docs fixups
6241 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

6247 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
6248 - add g_settings_reset()
6249 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
6252 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

6258 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
6259 - constness fixes for introspection structures
6260 - clean ups to subtree registration API
6263 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

6267 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
6268 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
6271 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
6272 617483 Credentials passing

6296 =====================================================
6298 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6299 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6300 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6301 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6302 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6305 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6306 -Bsymbolic-functions
6307 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6308 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6309 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6310 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6311 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6314 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6315 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6316 nobody was doing that.
6317 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6319 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6320 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6322 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6323 have a serial number
6324 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6326 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6328 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6329 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6330 has finished running on GDBus services.
6331 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6332 this due to the obvious race)
6333 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6334 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6337 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6338 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6339 arguments and different behaviour
6340 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6341 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6342 strings instead of utf8 strings
6343 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6344 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6345 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6346 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6347 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6348 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6349 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6350 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6351 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6354 - improved documentation
6355 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6356 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6357 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6358 overridden using <override>.
6359 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6361 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6362 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6363 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6364 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6365 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6366 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6367 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6368 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6369 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6370 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6371 being set due to a premature free
6372 - command line tool: bash completion support
6373 - chain up in _finalize
6374 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6376 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6377 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6378 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6380 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6381 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6382 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6383 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6384 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6388 - always intern GBinding prop names
6389 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6390 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6391 - GNode docs improvements
6392 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6393 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6394 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
6398 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
6399 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6400 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6401 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6402 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6403 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6404 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6405 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6407 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6408 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
6409 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6410 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6411 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n

7097 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.22.x to GLib 2.23.0
7098 ===================================================
7101 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
7102 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
7103 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
7104 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
7105 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
7106 while loading or saving it.
7107 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
7108 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7109 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
7112 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
7113 interfaces to dynamic types.
7116 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
7117 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
7118 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

7836 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
7837 ===================================================
7839 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
7840 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
7841 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
7842 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
7843 also uses less memory overall.
7845 * Make g_poll available as public api
7847 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
7848 that a GError is set or unset
7850 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7852 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7853 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7855 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7856 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
