397 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
398 ==================================
400 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
401 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
402 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
403 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
405 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
406 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
407 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
409 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
410 environment variable.

413 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

558 * Translation updates:
570 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.5

573 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
574 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
575 is unavailable or undesired.
577 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
578 glib-networking will also be required.

632 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
633 ==================================
635 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
636 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
637 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
638 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
640 This release corrects only this problem.
642 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
643 ==================================
645 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
646 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
647 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
649 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

995 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
996 ==================================
998 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
999 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1000 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1001 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1002 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1003 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1005 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1006 have seen major improvements.
1008 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1009 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1010 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1013 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1015 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1017 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1019 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1020 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1021 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1022 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1023 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1024 you use the --strict option.
1026 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1027 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1028 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1030 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1032 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1033 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1034 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1080 ===================================
1082 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1083 before the release of 2.44.0.
1085 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1087 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1088 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1089 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1090 default in the next cycle.
1092 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

1686 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1687 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

1942 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
1943 ====================================================
1945 * GSettings fixes/improvements
1947 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
1949 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
1950 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
1953 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
1954 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
1957 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
1959 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
1961 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
1964 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
1965 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
1967 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
1969 * Applications/Actions
1971 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
1972 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
1975 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
1976 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
1978 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
1979 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
1980 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
1981 not itself at fault for the errant call)
1985 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
1986 accesses that are performed in common situations
1988 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
1989 are installed/removed
1991 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
1992 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
1994 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
1995 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2000 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2002 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2003 that test programs don't pick them up
2005 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2007 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2008 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2009 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2010 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2012 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2013 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2015 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2016 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2017 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2021 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2023 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2025 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2027 Translations updated:

2046 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
2047 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

2077 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2078 ====================================================
2080 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2084 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2086 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2087 them can restart the application with an action (via
2092 - new API for launching subprocesses
2094 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2096 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2098 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2099 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2101 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2103 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2105 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2106 actions and listing apps and actions
2108 - bash tab completion is supported
2110 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2112 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2113 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2115 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2116 DBusActivatable=true
2118 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2119 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2124 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2126 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2127 class and inotify backend
2129 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2130 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2132 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2137 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2138 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2139 when there are invalid schemas installed
2141 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2145 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2146 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2148 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2151 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2152 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2153 semantics of the interface in each case
2155 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2156 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2158 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2160 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2161 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2162 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2163 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2167 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2170 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2172 * Portability improvements
2174 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2176 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2177 actually support it (like Hurd)
2179 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2181 * Other small API changes/additions
2183 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2184 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2185 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2187 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2189 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2190 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2192 * GMainContext/GSource
2194 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2196 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2197 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2198 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2199 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2200 broken and should probably be fixed.
2202 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2203 require use of a linked list
2207 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2208 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2209 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2211 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2215 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2216 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2217 gphoto, archive, at least).
2219 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2221 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2224 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2225 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2226 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2228 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2230 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2232 * Many documentation improvements
2235 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2236 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2237 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

2290 What's new in Glib 2.38
2291 ========================
2293 * Application support
2295 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2296 desktop entry specification
2298 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2299 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2300 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2302 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2303 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2304 to launch other applications
2306 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2307 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2311 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2312 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2313 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2314 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2315 any problems that this may have caused.
2317 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2318 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2319 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2320 (allowing memory savings)
2322 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2323 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2324 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2326 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2327 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2330 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2331 without destroying one of the objects involved
2335 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2336 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2337 with a finite number of cases
2339 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2340 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2342 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2343 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2344 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2345 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2348 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2352 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2353 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2354 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2356 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2358 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2359 and an API to check them
2361 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2362 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2364 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2365 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2369 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2370 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2371 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2374 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2375 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2376 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2378 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2383 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2384 allow for regexp matching on streams
2386 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow

2525 ==============================================
2527 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2528 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2529 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2530 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

2624 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
2626 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
2627 and will trigger a warning.

2665 ==============================================
2667 * add support for installed tests:
2668 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
2670 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
2671 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
2673 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
2675 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
2677 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
2678 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
2679 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.

2713 ==============================================
2715 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2716 and a parser API for them is now provided
2718 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2719 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
2720 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

2812 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
2813 ==============================================
2815 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
2816 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
2817 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
2818 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

2872 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
2873 ==============================================
2875 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
2876 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
2877 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
2878 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
2879 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report

2913 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
2915 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
2916 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.

3044 * Translation updates:
3059 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3060 ==============================================
3062 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3063 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3064 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3065 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3066 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3068 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3069 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3070 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3071 particular, are incompatible.
3073 * Bugs fixed in this release:
3074 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants
3075 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files

3118 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3119 ==============================================
3121 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3122 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3123 causing regressions in applications.
3125 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3126 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3127 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3130 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3131 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3132 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3134 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3136 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3138 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3140 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3142 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3144 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3146 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3148 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3150 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3152 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3202 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
3203 ==============================================
3205 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3206 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3208 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3209 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3211 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3213 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

4049 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4050 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4051 to an overridden property
4052 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4053 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4055 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:

4100 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4101 ==============================================
4103 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4104 moved to GtkApplication.
4106 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4107 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4108 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4109 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4111 * lots of documentation improvements
4113 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4115 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4116 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4118 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4120 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4122 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4124 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4125 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4128 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4129 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4133 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4134 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

4140 * Translations updated:
4144 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4145 ==============================================
4147 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4148 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4149 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4152 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4153 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4154 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4157 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4158 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4159 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4160 through an idle on the context.
4162 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4163 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4164 fixes here and there.
4166 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4167 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4168 API available outside GLib
4170 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4211 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4212 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4213 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4215 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4218 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it

4234 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4235 =================================================
4237 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4238 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4240 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4241 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4242 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4243 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4244 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4245 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4246 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4247 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4248 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4249 required (and has been deprecated)
4250 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4251 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4252 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4253 without explicit initialisation.
4254 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4255 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4256 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4258 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4259 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4260 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4261 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4262 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4263 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4264 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4266 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4267 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4268 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4269 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4270 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4271 - other implementation details changed
4273 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4274 deprecated/ directory.
4276 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4277 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4278 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4280 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4281 platform over a year ago).
4283 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4284 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4286 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4287 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4289 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4290 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4291 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4292 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4295 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4296 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4299 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4301 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4302 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4304 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4305 in a multi-threaded program
4307 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4308 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4311 - drop -uninstalled variants
4312 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4314 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4315 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4316 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4318 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4320 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4321 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4324 - many code generation updates and improvements
4325 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4328 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4329 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4331 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4333 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4336 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4337 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4339 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4340 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4342 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4344 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4348 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4349 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

4774 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
4775 ==============================================
4777 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
4778 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
4779 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
4780 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
4781 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
4782 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
4784 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
4785 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
4787 * Access to quarks is now lockless
4789 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
4791 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

4851 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
4852 ==============================================
4855 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
4856 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
4857 an 'object manager' pattern:
4858 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
4859 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
4860 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
4861 And server-side implementations:
4862 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
4863 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
4864 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
4868 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
4872 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
4873 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
4874 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
4875 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
4878 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
4879 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
4882 * Unix-specific APIs:
4883 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
4884 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
4885 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
4886 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
4887 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
4888 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

4910 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
4912 * Updated translations
4919 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
4920 ==============================================
4923 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
4924 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
4925 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
4928 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
4929 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
4930 situations has been improved
4933 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
4934 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
4937 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
4938 match strcmp() semantics
4939 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
4940 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
4941 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
4943 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
4944 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
4947 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
4949 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
4951 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
4952 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
4953 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5233 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
5234 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
5239 g_get_monotonic_time
5241 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
5244 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
5246 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
5248 g_simple_async_result_take_error
5249 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
5250 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
5252 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
5255 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
5256 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
5257 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
5259 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
5260 g_get_user_runtime_dir

5279 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
5280 ==============================================
5283 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
5284 - Support environment passing
5287 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5288 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5290 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5291 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5292 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5296 158725 free linked list with data

5309 * Translation updates:
5315 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5316 ==============================================
5318 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5319 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5321 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5322 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5324 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5326 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5328 g_settings_get_range
5329 g_settings_range_check
5330 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5332 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5333 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5335 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5336 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5338 g_main_context_invoke
5339 g_main_context_invoke_full
5341 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5342 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5343 looking for default applications.
5345 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5346 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5347 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5348 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5350 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5351 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5352 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5403 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.15 to GLib 2.27.0
5404 ====================================================
5407 - massive restructuring to reduce #include abuse
5408 - tweaks to silence some harmless compiler warnings
5409 - rename gschema-compile.c to glib-compile-schemas.c
5411 - fix building with zlib < 1.2.4 on win32
5414 - better msgctxt for translating month and weekday names
5415 - API is changed quite a lot, implementation is improved
5416 - GTimeZone is now exposed
5419 - make ordering for overridden interface properties consistent
5420 - ->priv structures are limited to 64k but this was not documented,
5421 and exceeding this limit produced bad results. Add docs and enforce
5423 - add g_object_class_install_properties() to install multiple

5610 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5611 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5613 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5614 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5615 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5616 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5619 There have been many other improvements, however:
5622 - vastly improved test coverage
5623 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5624 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5625 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

5673 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
5674 =====================================================
5676 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5677 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5678 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5679 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5680 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5681 | required (and will be along soon). |
5682 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5685 - cleanup automake setup
5686 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
5687 - various docs fixups
5688 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

5694 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
5695 - add g_settings_reset()
5696 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
5699 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

5701 - proper support for file descriptor passing
5702 - new flags parameter for sending messages
5703 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
5704 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
5705 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
5706 - constness fixes for introspection structures
5707 - clean ups to subtree registration API
5710 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

5742 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
5743 =====================================================
5745 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5746 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
5747 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
5748 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
5749 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5752 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
5753 -Bsymbolic-functions
5754 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
5755 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
5756 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
5757 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
5758 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5761 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
5762 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
5763 nobody was doing that.
5764 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
5766 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
5767 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
5769 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
5770 have a serial number
5771 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
5773 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
5775 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
5776 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
5777 has finished running on GDBus services.
5778 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
5779 this due to the obvious race)
5780 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
5781 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
5784 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
5785 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
5786 arguments and different behaviour
5787 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
5788 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
5789 strings instead of utf8 strings
5790 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
5791 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
5792 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
5793 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
5794 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
5795 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
5796 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
5797 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
5798 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
5801 - improved documentation
5802 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
5803 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
5804 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
5805 overridden using <override>.
5806 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
5808 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
5809 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
5810 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
5811 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
5812 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
5813 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
5814 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
5815 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
5816 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
5817 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
5818 being set due to a premature free
5819 - command line tool: bash completion support
5820 - chain up in _finalize
5821 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
5823 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
5824 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
5825 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
5827 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
5828 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
5829 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
5830 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
5831 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
5835 - always intern GBinding prop names
5836 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
5837 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
5838 - GNode docs improvements
5839 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
5840 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
5841 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
5845 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
5846 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
5847 - improved tests for GKeyfile
5848 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
5849 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
5850 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
5851 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
5852 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
5854 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
5855 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
5856 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5857 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
5858 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
5859 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
5860 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
5861 610784 array test failing

6548 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6549 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6550 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6551 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6552 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6553 while loading or saving it.
6554 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6555 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6556 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6559 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6560 interfaces to dynamic types.

7287 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

7290 also uses less memory overall.

7299 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7300 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7302 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
