342 ==================================
344 * Deprecate `g_time_zone_new()` in favour of `g_time_zone_new_identifier()`,
345 which makes error checking easier (#553)
347 * Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should
348 adjust your code to not use `volatile` for atomic variables, `GOnce`
349 variables, or mostly anything else (see

364 `g_object_bind_property()` for full details — if your code uses `GBinding`
365 across threads, you should re-check it against the latest documentation, use
366 `g_binding_unbind()` rather than implicitly dropping the binding with your
367 last `g_object_unref()` call, and use `g_binding_dup_source()`/`g_binding_dup_target()`
368 instead of `g_binding_get_source()`/`g_binding_get_target()`

1505 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
1506 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
1508 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
1509 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
1511 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
1512 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)

1515 third-party code should now be using

1532 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
1534 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
1535 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
1537 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1539 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1540 of packaged libraries (!951)
1542 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

2084 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
2085 ==================================
2087 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
2088 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
2089 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
2090 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
2092 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
2093 directory for each unit test. (#538)
2095 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
2097 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
2099 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
2101 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
2102 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
2103 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
2104 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
2106 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
2107 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
2109 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
2110 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
2111 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
2113 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
2115 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
2116 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
2119 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
2120 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
2122 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
2123 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
2124 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
2126 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
2127 portal backends. (!317)
2129 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
2132 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
2134 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
2137 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
2139 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
2142 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
2143 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
2144 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
2146 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
2147 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
2149 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
2150 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
2151 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
2152 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
2154 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
2156 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

2365 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
2366 ==================================
2368 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
2369 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
2370 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
2371 with Meson or autotools. See:
2372 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
2374 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
2376 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
2377 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
2379 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
2381 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
2383 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
2384 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
2385 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
2386 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
2389 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
2390 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
2391 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
2392 !265 Network monitor again
2393 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
2394 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
2395 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
2396 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
2397 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
2398 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
2400 * Translation updates:
2410 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
2411 ==================================
2413 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
2414 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
2415 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
2416 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
2418 * Many minor documentation fixes.
2420 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
2422 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
2424 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
2426 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
2427 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
2429 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
2431 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
2432 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
2433 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
2436 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
2438 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
2441 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
2442 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
2443 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect

3793 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
3794 is unavailable or undesired.
3796 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
3797 glib-networking will also be required.
3799 * GDBusMethodInvocation now drops replies if the sender set the
3800 NO_REPLY_EXPECTED flag

3851 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
3852 ==================================
3854 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3855 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3856 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3857 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3859 This release corrects only this problem.
3861 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
3862 ==================================
3864 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3865 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3866 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
3868 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

3957 Overview of changes in GLib 2.46.0
3958 ==================================
3960 * GTask no longer imposes a fixed limit on the number of tasks that
3961 can be run_in_thread() simultaneously, since doing this inevitably
3962 results in deadlocks in some use cases. Instead, it now has a base
3963 number of threads that can be used "for free", but will gradually
3964 add more threads to the pool if too much time passes without any
3967 The exact behavior may continue to change in the future, and it's
3968 possible that some future version of GLib may not do any
3969 rate-limiting at all. As a result, you should no longer assume that
3970 GTask will rate-limit tasks itself (or, by extension, that calls to
3971 certain async gio methods will automatically be rate-limited for
3972 you). If you have a very large number of tasks to run, and don't
3973 want them to all run at once, you should rate-limit them yourself.

4229 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
4230 ==================================
4232 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
4233 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
4234 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
4235 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
4236 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
4237 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
4239 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
4240 have seen major improvements.
4242 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
4243 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
4244 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
4247 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
4249 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
4251 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
4253 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
4254 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
4255 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
4256 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
4257 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
4258 you use the --strict option.
4260 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
4261 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
4262 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
4264 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
4266 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
4267 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
4268 default handlers for a generic supertype.

4313 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
4314 ===================================
4316 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
4317 before the release of 2.44.0.
4319 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
4321 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
4322 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
4323 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
4324 default in the next cycle.
4326 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
4328 * new GTask:completed property
4330 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
4331 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()
4334 614684 Make various parts of GObject const-correct
4335 730352 Use inet_pton(), if_nametoindex() and if_indextoname() for newer versions of Windows
4336 733876 Proxy protocol 'http' is not supported.

4345 Translations updated:
4370 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
4371 ===================================
4373 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
4374 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
4375 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
4377 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
4378 effective busy state.
4380 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

4403 GInputStream and GOutputStream
4405 * GApplication: new API for marking 'busy' state according to the value
4406 of a boolean property on another object
4408 * GOptionGroup: add binding support (boxed type, annotation fixes, etc.)
4411 739724 Test functions should have async scope
4412 741024 glist: Mention that g_list_length() is bad for checking list emptiness

4427 ==================================
4429 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
4430 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
4431 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
4433 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
4434 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.
4436 * GListModel is a new interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.
4438 * GListStore is a GSequence-based implementation of GListModel.

4885 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
4886 =====================================================
4888 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
4890 * g_test_run() no longer runs tests in exactly the order they are
4891 registered; instead, it groups them according to test suites (ie,
4892 path components) like the documentation always claimed it did. In
4893 some cases, this can result in a sub-optimal ordering of tests,
4894 relative to the old behavior. The fix is to change the test paths to
4895 properly group together the tests that should run together. (eg, if
4896 you want to run test_foo_simple(), test_bar_simple(), and
4897 test_foo_using_bar() in that order, they should have test paths like
4898 "/simple/foo", "/simple/bar", "/complex/foo-using-bar", not
4899 "/foo/simple", "/bar/simple", "/foo/using-bar" (which would result
4900 in test_foo_using_bar() running before test_bar_simple()).
4902 (The behavior actually changed in GLib 2.36, but it was not
4903 documented at the time, since we didn't realize it mattered.)
4905 There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
4909 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()
4910 723899 G_DEFINE_TYPE() causes compiler warnings with clang due to foo_get_instance_private

4928 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
4929 =====================================================
4931 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
4932 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
4933 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
4934 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
4935 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4936 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
4938 New API: g_str_to_ascii()

5191 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
5192 ====================================================
5194 * GSettings fixes/improvements
5196 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
5198 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
5199 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
5202 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
5203 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
5206 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
5208 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
5210 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
5213 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
5214 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
5216 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
5218 * Applications/Actions
5220 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
5221 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
5224 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
5225 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
5227 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
5228 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
5229 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
5230 not itself at fault for the errant call)
5234 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
5235 accesses that are performed in common situations
5237 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
5238 are installed/removed
5240 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
5241 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
5243 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
5244 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
5249 - ignore qualified tags, as above
5251 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
5252 that test programs don't pick them up
5254 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
5256 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
5257 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
5258 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
5259 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
5261 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
5262 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
5264 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
5265 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
5266 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
5270 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
5272 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
5274 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
5276 Translations updated:

5326 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
5327 ====================================================
5329 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
5333 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
5335 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
5336 them can restart the application with an action (via
5341 - new API for launching subprocesses
5343 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
5345 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
5347 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
5348 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
5350 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
5352 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
5354 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
5355 actions and listing apps and actions
5357 - bash tab completion is supported
5359 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
5361 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
5362 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
5364 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
5365 DBusActivatable=true
5367 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
5368 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
5373 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
5375 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
5376 class and inotify backend
5378 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
5379 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
5381 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
5386 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
5387 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
5388 when there are invalid schemas installed
5390 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
5394 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
5395 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
5397 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
5400 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
5401 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
5402 semantics of the interface in each case
5404 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
5405 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
5407 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
5409 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
5410 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
5411 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
5412 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
5416 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
5419 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
5421 * Portability improvements
5423 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
5425 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
5426 actually support it (like Hurd)
5428 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
5430 * Other small API changes/additions
5432 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
5433 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
5434 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
5436 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
5438 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
5439 G_LOG_ERROR messages
5441 * GMainContext/GSource
5443 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
5445 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
5446 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
5447 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
5448 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
5449 broken and should probably be fixed.
5451 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
5452 require use of a linked list
5456 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
5457 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
5458 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
5460 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
5464 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
5465 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
5466 gphoto, archive, at least).
5468 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
5470 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
5473 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
5474 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
5475 (which shared exactly the same bug)
5477 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
5479 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
5481 * Many documentation improvements

5539 What's new in Glib 2.38
5540 ========================
5542 * Application support
5544 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5545 desktop entry specification
5547 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5548 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5549 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5551 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5552 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5553 to launch other applications
5555 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5556 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5560 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5561 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5562 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5563 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5564 any problems that this may have caused.
5566 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5567 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5568 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5569 (allowing memory savings)
5571 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
5572 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
5573 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
5575 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
5576 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5579 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5580 without destroying one of the objects involved
5584 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5585 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5586 with a finite number of cases
5588 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5589 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5591 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5592 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5593 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5594 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5597 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5601 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5602 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5603 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5605 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5607 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5608 and an API to check them
5610 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5611 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
5613 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
5614 with most functions, but this is not recommended
5618 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
5619 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
5620 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
5623 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
5624 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
5625 particular directory (akin to 'du').
5627 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
5632 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
5633 allow for regexp matching on streams
5635 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
5636 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
5637 g_variant_new_printf()
5641 - we can now generate TAP output
5643 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
5644 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
5646 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
5651 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

5776 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
5777 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
5778 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
5779 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
5781 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
5782 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when

5864 698375 - D-Bus async properties
5865 700350 - timestamp issue
5866 701560 - fsync issue (fixed again)
5867 700035 - new API for instance private data
5869 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
5870 ==============================================
5872 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
5873 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
5875 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
5876 and will trigger a warning.
5879 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

5913 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
5914 ==============================================
5916 * add support for installed tests:
5917 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
5919 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
5920 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
5922 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
5924 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
5926 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
5927 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
5928 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.

5961 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
5962 ==============================================
5964 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
5965 and a parser API for them is now provided
5967 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
5968 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
5969 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

6017 * Translation updates:
6029 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
6030 ==============================================
6032 * It is no longer necessary to call g_type_init(). If you are
6033 loading GLib as a dynamic module, you should be careful to avoid
6034 unloading it, then subsequently loading it again. This never
6035 really worked before, but it is now explicitly undefined behavior.
6036 Note that if g_type_init() was the only explicit use of a GObject
6037 API and you are using linker flags such as --no-add-needed, then
6038 you may have to artificially use some GObject call to keep the
6039 linker from optimizing away -lgobject. We recommend to use
6040 g_type_ensure (G_TYPE_OBJECT) for this purpose.
6042 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6043 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6044 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6045 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6046 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6048 * The 'flowinfo' and 'scope_id' fields of GInetSocketAddress
6049 (introduced in GLib 2.32) have been fixed to be in host byte order
6050 rather than network byte order. This is an incompatible change, but
6051 the previous behavior was clearly broken, so it seems unlikely that
6052 anyone was using it.
6054 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
6056 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
6057 the destination file
6059 - fix some 'available since' annotations
6061 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
6064 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code
6065 696014 g_file_copy(): Ensure G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE preserves permissions

6083 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
6084 ==============================================
6086 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
6087 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
6088 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
6089 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

6143 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
6144 ==============================================
6146 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
6147 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
6148 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
6149 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
6150 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report

6179 ==============================================
6181 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
6183 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
6184 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
6186 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
6187 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
6189 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
6202 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
6203 ==============================================
6205 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors

6315 * Translation updates:
6330 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
6331 ==============================================
6333 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6334 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6335 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6336 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6337 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6339 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
6340 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
6341 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
6342 particular, are incompatible.
6344 * Bugs fixed in this release:

6389 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
6390 ==============================================
6392 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
6393 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
6394 causing regressions in applications.
6396 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
6397 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
6398 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
6401 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
6402 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
6403 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
6405 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
6407 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
6409 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
6411 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
6413 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
6415 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
6417 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
6419 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
6421 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
6423 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

6473 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
6474 ==============================================
6476 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
6477 give feedback if they cause trouble:
6479 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
6480 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
6482 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
6484 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
6486 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
6488 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed

7034 * Updated translations:
7061 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.22 to 2.32.0
7062 ===============================================
7064 * It is no longer necessary to use g_thread_init() or to link against
7065 libgthread. libglib is now always thread-enabled. Custom thread
7066 system implementations are no longer supported (including errorcheck
7069 * The thread and synchronisation APIs have been updated.
7070 GMutex and GCond can be statically allocated without explicit
7071 initialisation, as can new types GRWLock and GRecMutex. The
7072 GStatic_______ variants of these types have been deprecated. GPrivate
7073 can also be statically allocated and has a nicer API (deprecating
7074 GStaticPrivate). Finally, g_thread_create() has been replaced with a
7075 substantially simplified g_thread_new().
7077 * The g_once_init_enter()/_leave() functions have been replaced with
7078 macros that allow for a pointer to any gsize-sized object, not just a
7079 gsize*. The assertions to ensure that a pointer to a correctly-sized
7080 object is being used will not work with generic pointers (ie: (void*)
7081 and (gpointer) casts) which would have worked with the old version.
7083 * It is now mandatory to include glib.h instead of individual headers.
7085 * The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
7087 * For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public
7088 dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been
7089 private). This means that programs got away with calling
7090 g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their
7093 gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause
7094 such programs to break.
7096 The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency
7097 on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib
7098 versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init().
7100 * g_debug() output is no longer enabled by default. It can be enabled
7101 on a per-domain basis with the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable
7103 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=domain1,domain2
7105 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all

7367 ==============================================
7370 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
7371 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
7372 to an overridden property
7373 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
7374 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
7376 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
7377 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

7421 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
7422 ==============================================
7424 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
7425 moved to GtkApplication.
7427 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
7428 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
7429 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
7430 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
7432 * lots of documentation improvements
7434 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
7436 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
7437 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
7439 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
7441 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
7443 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
7445 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
7446 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
7449 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
7450 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

7461 * Translations updated:
7465 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
7466 ==============================================
7468 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
7469 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
7470 There have also been many related improvements to action group
7473 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
7474 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
7475 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
7478 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
7479 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
7480 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
7481 through an idle on the context.
7483 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
7484 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
7485 fixes here and there.
7487 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
7488 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
7489 API available outside GLib
7491 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

7532 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
7533 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
7534 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
7536 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
7539 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
7540 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

7555 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
7556 =================================================
7558 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
7559 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
7561 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
7562 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
7563 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
7564 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
7565 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
7566 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
7567 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
7568 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
7569 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
7570 required (and has been deprecated)
7571 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
7572 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
7573 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
7574 without explicit initialisation.
7575 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
7576 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
7577 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
7579 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
7580 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
7581 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
7582 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
7583 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
7584 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
7585 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
7587 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
7588 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
7589 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
7590 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
7591 - GThread is now a refcounted type
7592 - other implementation details changed
7594 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
7595 deprecated/ directory.
7597 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
7598 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
7599 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
7601 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
7602 platform over a year ago).
7604 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
7605 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
7607 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
7608 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
7610 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
7611 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
7612 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
7613 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
7616 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
7617 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
7620 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
7622 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
7623 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
7625 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
7626 in a multi-threaded program
7628 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
7629 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
7632 - drop -uninstalled variants
7633 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
7635 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
7636 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
7637 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
7639 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
7641 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
7642 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
7645 - many code generation updates and improvements
7646 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
7649 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
7650 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
7652 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
7654 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
7657 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
7658 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
7660 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
7661 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
7663 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
7665 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
7669 * Partial list of bugs closed:
7670 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

7752 * Translations updates:
7754 Brazilian Portuguese
7781 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
7782 ================================================
7784 * GObject includes a generic marshaller, g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
7785 To use it, simply specify NULL as the marshaller in g_signal_new().
7786 The generic marshaller is implemented with libffi, and consequently
7787 GObject depends on libffi now.
7790 - unix signal watches now match the API of all of the other sources
7791 - revert the addition of g_date_time_source_new () from last release
7793 * networking and other fixes for Solaris
7794 - we no longer support symbolic port names (ie: from /etc/services)
7795 - check if -lsocket is needed
7796 - fix g_socket_details_from_fd()
7798 - fix some harmless warnings
7800 * GDateTime improvements:
7801 - generally improved standards compliance (with C99)
7802 - support C99-specified format strings: %g, %G, %V, %c, %C, %w
7803 - consult the locale for the preferred 12-hour time format (%r)
7804 - drop support for non-standard %N and broken %W
7805 - better support for formatting non-POSIX (eg: Arabic) numerals
7806 - locale-related test case fixups, and fix some leaks
7808 * GTlsInteraction: add interaction method invocation guarantees
7810 * gdbus-codegen: post-process all interfaces when parsing >1 file
7812 * make GMainLoop, GMainContext and GSource boxed types
7814 * fix a race condition in the first use of g_get_monotonic_time()
7816 * lots gtk-doc cleanups
7818 * better intltool compatibility when generating pot file
7820 * avoid GCC-specific compiler options when not using GCC
7822 * Translation updates:
7824 Brazilian Portuguese
7835 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.16 to 2.29.18
7836 ================================================
7838 * GDateTime is now respecting LC_TIME when formatting
7840 * GTimeZoneMonitor has been removed again
7842 * A new API for wallclock functionality has been added:
7843 g_date_time_source_new(). This API is still experimental
7844 and may be changed or removed before 2.30.
7847 628904 Add credential support for FreeBSD and fix a socket issue
7848 650763 gdbus-codegen is broken with python 2.7

8100 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
8101 ==============================================
8103 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
8104 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
8105 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
8106 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
8107 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
8108 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
8110 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
8111 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
8113 * Access to quarks is now lockless
8115 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
8117 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

8168 * Updated translations:
8177 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
8178 ==============================================
8181 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
8182 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
8183 an 'object manager' pattern:
8184 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
8185 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
8186 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
8187 And server-side implementations:
8188 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
8189 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
8190 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
8194 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
8198 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
8199 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
8200 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
8201 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
8204 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
8205 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
8208 * Unix-specific APIs:
8209 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
8210 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
8211 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
8212 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
8213 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
8214 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

8238 * Updated translations
8245 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
8246 ==============================================
8249 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
8250 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
8251 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
8254 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
8255 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
8256 situations has been improved
8259 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
8260 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
8263 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
8264 match strcmp() semantics
8265 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
8266 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
8267 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
8269 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
8270 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
8273 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
8275 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
8277 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
8278 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
8279 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

8614 - Support environment passing
8617 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
8618 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
8620 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
8621 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
8622 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
8626 158725 free linked list with data

8639 * Translation updates:
8645 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
8646 ==============================================
8648 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
8649 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
8651 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
8652 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
8654 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
8656 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
8658 g_settings_get_range
8659 g_settings_range_check
8660 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
8662 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
8663 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
8665 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
8666 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
8668 g_main_context_invoke
8669 g_main_context_invoke_full
8671 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
8672 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
8673 looking for default applications.
8675 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
8676 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
8677 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
8678 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
8680 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
8681 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
8682 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

8941 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8943 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
8944 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
8945 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
8946 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very

9079 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9082 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
9083 -Bsymbolic-functions
9084 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
9085 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
9086 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
9087 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
9088 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9091 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
9092 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
9093 nobody was doing that.
9094 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
9096 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
9097 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
9099 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
9100 have a serial number
9101 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
9103 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
9105 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
9106 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
9107 has finished running on GDBus services.
9108 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
9109 this due to the obvious race)
9110 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
9111 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
9114 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
9115 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
9116 arguments and different behaviour
9117 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
9118 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
9119 strings instead of utf8 strings
9120 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
9121 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
9122 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
9123 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
9124 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
9125 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
9126 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
9127 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
9128 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
9131 - improved documentation
9132 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
9133 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
9134 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
9135 overridden using <override>.
9136 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
9138 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
9139 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
9140 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
9141 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
9142 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
9143 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
9144 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
9145 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
9146 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
9147 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
9148 being set due to a premature free
9149 - command line tool: bash completion support
9150 - chain up in _finalize
9151 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
9153 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
9154 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
9155 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
9157 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
9158 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
9159 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
9160 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
9161 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
9165 - always intern GBinding prop names
9166 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
9167 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
9168 - GNode docs improvements
9169 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
9170 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation

9175 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
9176 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
9177 - improved tests for GKeyfile
9178 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
9179 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
9180 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
9181 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
9182 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
9184 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
9185 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
9186 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9187 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
9188 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
9189 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
9190 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
9191 610784 array test failing

9591 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.24.0 to GLib 2.25.0
9592 ===================================================
9594 * The GSettings framework has been merged. This provides the API to
9595 replace GConf. DConf will provide a backend implementation for it.
9596 GConf will also provide a backend implementation to ease the
9597 transition. We provide utilities to assist with schema conversion
9598 and data migration, as well as a porting guide.
9600 * Translation updates:
9610 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.6 to GLib 2.24.0
9611 ===================================================
9613 * It is now allowed to call g_thread_init(NULL) multiple times, and
9614 to call glib functions before g_thread_init(NULL) is called
9615 (although the later is mainly a change in docs as this worked before
9616 too). See the GThread reference documentation for the details.
9618 * GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
9619 when g_type_init() is called.
9621 * GObject no longer allows to call g_object_set() on construct-only properties
9622 while an object is being initialized. If this behavior is needed, setting a
9623 custom constructor that just chains up will re-enable this functionality.
9625 * GMappedFile on an empty file now returns NULL for the contents instead of
9626 returning an empty string. The documentation specifically states that code
9627 may not rely on nul-termination here so any breakage caused by this change
9628 is a bug in application code.

9686 ===================================================
9688 * New API addition: g_malloc_n() and friends used to implement an
9689 overflow-safe family of g_new() macros.
9692 - GVariantBuilder and GVariantIter are now merged.
9693 - The variable arguments API is now merged.
9694 - The parser will be in a future release.
9697 - Remove GUtf8InputStream (which never appeared in a stable release)
9698 for now since it doesn't satisfy the needs of its main intended use
9699 case. We hope to reimplement this feature in a better form in a

9800 * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
9802 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
9804 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
9805 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
9806 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
9808 * Threading changes:
9809 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
9810 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
9812 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
9813 when g_type_init() is called.
9814 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
9817 - Another bunch of performance work has landed

9892 ===================================================
9895 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
9896 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
9897 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
9898 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
9899 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
9900 while loading or saving it.
9901 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
9902 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
9903 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
9906 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
9907 interfaces to dynamic types.
9910 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
9911 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

10269 - New helper functions g_cancellable_connect/disconnect to avoid
10270 race conditions when connecting to the "cancelled" signal on

10273 UNIX domain socket addresses under UNIX). This does not include code
10274 for actual socket I/O.
10275 - GResolver provides asynchronous and cancellable APIs for resolving
10276 hostnames, reverse lookup of IP addresses and resolving SRV records.
10278 * Glib now provides hash and comparison functions for int64 and double

10354 * The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() +
10355 friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs
10356 with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26,
10357 FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile
10358 constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate
10359 POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale. The
10360 only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an
10361 URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of
10362 looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at
10363 the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile
10364 object with the given URI.

10646 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
10647 ===================================================
10649 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
10650 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
10651 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
10652 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
10653 also uses less memory overall.
10655 * Make g_poll available as public api
10657 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
10658 that a GError is set or unset
10660 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
10662 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
10663 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
10665 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
10666 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

10743 ===================================================
10745 * The recommended way of using GLib has always been to only include the
10746 toplevel headers glib.h, glib-object.h and gio.h. GLib enforces this by
10747 generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
10748 To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
10749 default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
10750 To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.

12072 ===================================================
12075 314794 Broken pthread detection on Darwin [Gregor Riepl]
12076 322476 Missing check for .dylib [Vladimir Panov]
12077 333651 Inconsistent _g_charset_get_aliases prototype [Julio
12079 333761 GInitiallyUnowned breaks application code [Sven Herzberg]
12082 - Fix g_listenv() implementation.
12083 - Allow up to 100 GPrivate structs
12085 * Translation updates (fr,hu,lt,pl,sv)
12088 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.6 to GLib 2.10.0
12089 ==================================================
12091 * The functions g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf() have been removed from
12092 the gprintf.h header, since they are already declared in glib.h. This
12093 doesn't break documented use of gprintf.h, but people have been known
12094 to include gprintf.h without including glib.h.
12096 * The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. This adds several
12097 new members to the GUnicodeBreakType enumeration.
12099 * The support for Solaris threads has been retired. Solaris has provided
12100 POSIX threads for long enough now to have them available on every
12103 * 'make check' has been changed to validate translations by calling
12104 msgfmt with the -c option. As a result, it may fail on systems with
12105 older gettext implementations (GNU gettext < 0.14.1, or Solaris gettext).
12106 'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not
12107 support ELF visibility attributes.
12109 * The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice
12110 allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details.
12112 * A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
12113 intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
12114 concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
12115 inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
12116 bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
12117 system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
12118 carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
12119 to help with the transition.

12287 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
12288 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
12289 variants [Martyn Russell]

12320 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
12321 =================================================
12323 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
12324 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
12325 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
12327 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
12328 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
12331 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
12332 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
12333 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
12334 "stutter stepping".
12335 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
12337 * Memory management:
12338 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
12339 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
12340 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
12341 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
12342 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
12343 never worked as intended.
12344 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
12345 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
12346 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
12347 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
12348 efficient and scalable implementation.
12349 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
12351 * Pattern matching:
12352 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
12353 unnecessary recursion.
12356 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
12357 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
12358 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
12361 * g_thread_foreach:
12362 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
12365 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
12366 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
12367 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
12371 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
12372 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
12373 since they are in glib.h

12552 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
12553 =================================================
12555 * GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of 'GLib filename encoding', which is the
12556 on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. All GLib functions
12557 returning or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect
12558 filenames in this encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing
12559 with pathnames have been wrapped. These wrappers are declared in the
12560 header <glib/gstdio.h> which must be included explicitly; it is not
12561 included through <glib.h>.
12563 On current (NT-based) Windows versions, where the on-disk file names
12564 are Unicode, these wrappers use the wide-character API in the C
12565 library. Thus applications can handle file names containing any
12566 Unicode characters through GLib's own API and its POSIX wrappers,
12567 not just file names restricted to characters in the system codepage.
12569 To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against
12570 older versions of GLib, the Windows DLL still provides entry points
12571 with the old semantics using the old names, and applications
12572 compiled against GLib 2.6 will actually use new names for the
12573 functions. This is transparent to the programmer.
12575 When compiling against GLib 2.6, applications intended to be
12576 portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into
12577 consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose
12578 names have been constructed from strings returned from GLib.
12580 * Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed
12581 to return UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for
12582 applications compiled against older versions of GLib.
12584 * The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
12585 must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
12586 with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not.
12587 In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that,
12588 GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed
12589 header files and were never intended to be exported.
12591 * To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GLib, when compiled
12592 with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
12593 points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
12594 IA__, may be seen when debugging a GLib program.
12596 * On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window when printing
12597 warning messages if stdout or stderr are invalid, as they are in
12598 "Windows subsystem" (GUI) applications. Simply redirect stdout or
12599 stderr if you need to see them.
12601 * The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many
12602 thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads
12603 implementation on Linux) where it's not possible to call waitpid()
12604 for a child created in a different thread. For this reason, for
12605 maximum portability, you should structure your code to fork all
12606 child processes that you want to wait for from the main thread.
12608 * A problem was recently discovered with g_signal_connect_object();
12609 it doesn't actually disconnect the signal handler once the object being
12610 connected to dies, just disables it. See the API docs for the function
12611 for further details and the correct workaround that will continue to
12612 work with future versions of GLib.
12615 - GOption, a commandline option parser
12616 - GKeyFile, a parser/editor for the .ini like files
12617 - Functions to support the XDG basedir specification
12618 - Wrappers for common POSIX pathname functions to handle filename
12619 encodings consistently. On Windows, these use UTF-8.
12621 * Miscellaneous new functions
12622 - g_filename_display_name() converts filenames in displayable UTF-8 strings
12623 - g_uri_list_extract_uris() splits uri lists
12624 - g_date_get_iso8601_week_of_year() gets ISO 8601 week numbers
