251 * Fix a pidfd leak that was introduced in the previous release (work by
252 Christian Hergert) (#2708)
254 * Support compilation without a C++ toolchain (work by James Hilliard) (!2822)

263 GDesktopAppInfo's to the journal with proper parent (work by Simon McVittie)
264 (!2818, !2819, #2682)
266 * Executables that are invoked when installing other software, typically
267 from packaging system triggers, can now be installed into
268 architecture-dependent locations. Unix OS distributors who install
269 GLib for more than one architecture in parallel (multiarch or multilib
270 installations) should consider building with -Dmultiarch=true, installing
271 the bin/glib-compile-schemas and bin/gio-querymodules symbolic links in
272 packages for the primary architecture, and omitting those symlinks from
273 packages for secondary architectures. (work by Simon McVittie) (!2818)
275 * Some enumerators introduced in previous releases have been changed, for better
276 introspection results:
277 - G_MARKUP_PARSE_FLAGS_NONE renamed to G_MARKUP_DEFAULT_FLAGS
278 - G_TLS_CERTIFICATE_FLAGS_NONE renamed to G_TLS_CERTIFICATE_NO_FLAGS

287 * Improve default value of glib_debug option: G_ENABLE_DEBUG will be defined
288 only if using `--buildtype=debug` or enabled via `-Dglib_debug`, but it
289 won't ever be set if an optimized build is requested (specifically if the
290 optimization level is not `0` or `g`) as it may be the case when using
291 `--buildtype=debugoptimized` (work by Michael Catanzaro) (!2851)

1963 Overview of changes in GLib 2.67.1
1964 ==================================
1966 * Deprecate `g_time_zone_new()` in favour of `g_time_zone_new_identifier()`,
1967 which makes error checking easier (#553)
1969 * Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should

1983 or skipping test suites by prefix (work by Frederic Martinsons) (!1738)
1985 * Fix thread-safety of `GBinding`; see the updated documentation for
1986 `g_object_bind_property()` for full details — if your code uses `GBinding`
1987 across threads, you should re-check it against the latest documentation, use
1988 `g_binding_unbind()` rather than implicitly dropping the binding with your
1989 last `g_object_unref()` call, and use `g_binding_dup_source()`/`g_binding_dup_target()`
1990 instead of `g_binding_get_source()`/`g_binding_get_target()`

3130 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
3131 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
3133 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
3134 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
3136 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
3137 third-party code should now be using
3138 `GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED}` to control symbol usage (!871)
3140 * Improve support for running `ninja test` when GLib is built statically (#1648)
3142 * Improve `GNetworkMonitor` detection of offline states (#1788)
3144 * Fix build failure on macOS related to missing `_g_content_type_get_mime_dirs`
3147 * Add various installed utilities’ paths to `gio-2.0.pc` (#1796)

3150 of GLib included in a flatpak runtime) (#1822, !985)
3152 * More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
3154 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
3156 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
3157 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
3159 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
3161 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
3162 of packaged libraries (!951)
3164 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

3323 * Improve network availability detection with NetworkManager to treat lower
3324 levels of connectivity as having reduced availability (!781)

3635 * Tag various tests as ‘flaky’. These are no longer run routinely on our
3636 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
3637 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
3638 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

3701 * Translation updates:
3706 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
3707 ==================================
3709 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
3710 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
3711 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
3712 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
3714 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
3715 directory for each unit test. (#538)
3717 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
3719 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
3721 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
3723 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
3724 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
3725 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
3726 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
3728 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
3729 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
3731 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
3732 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
3733 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
3735 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
3737 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
3738 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
3741 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
3742 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
3744 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
3745 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
3746 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
3748 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
3749 portal backends. (!317)
3751 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
3754 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
3756 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
3759 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
3761 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
3764 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
3765 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
3766 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
3768 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
3769 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
3771 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
3772 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
3773 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
3774 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
3776 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
3778 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

3987 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
3988 ==================================
3990 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
3991 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
3992 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
3993 with Meson or autotools. See:
3994 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
3996 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
3998 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
3999 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
4001 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
4003 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
4005 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
4006 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
4007 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
4008 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
4011 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
4012 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
4013 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
4014 !265 Network monitor again
4015 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
4016 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
4017 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
4018 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
4019 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
4020 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
4022 * Translation updates:
4032 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
4033 ==================================
4035 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
4036 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
4037 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
4038 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
4040 * Many minor documentation fixes.
4042 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
4044 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
4046 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
4048 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
4049 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
4051 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
4053 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
4054 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
4055 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
4058 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
4060 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
4063 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
4064 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
4065 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect

5235 ==================================
5237 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
5238 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
5239 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
5240 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
5242 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
5243 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
5244 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
5246 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
5247 environment variable.
5249 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
5250 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

5473 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
5474 ==================================
5476 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
5477 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
5478 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
5479 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
5481 This release corrects only this problem.
5483 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
5484 ==================================
5486 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
5487 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
5488 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
5490 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

5579 Overview of changes in GLib 2.46.0
5580 ==================================
5582 * GTask no longer imposes a fixed limit on the number of tasks that
5583 can be run_in_thread() simultaneously, since doing this inevitably
5584 results in deadlocks in some use cases. Instead, it now has a base
5585 number of threads that can be used "for free", but will gradually
5586 add more threads to the pool if too much time passes without any
5589 The exact behavior may continue to change in the future, and it's
5590 possible that some future version of GLib may not do any
5591 rate-limiting at all. As a result, you should no longer assume that
5592 GTask will rate-limit tasks itself (or, by extension, that calls to
5593 certain async gio methods will automatically be rate-limited for
5594 you). If you have a very large number of tasks to run, and don't
5595 want them to all run at once, you should rate-limit them yourself.

5851 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
5852 ==================================
5854 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
5855 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
5856 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
5857 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
5858 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
5859 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
5861 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
5862 have seen major improvements.
5864 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
5865 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
5866 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
5869 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
5871 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
5873 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
5875 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
5876 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
5877 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
5878 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
5879 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
5880 you use the --strict option.
5882 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
5883 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
5884 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
5886 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
5888 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
5889 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
5890 default handlers for a generic supertype.

5938 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
5939 before the release of 2.44.0.
5941 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
5943 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
5944 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
5945 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
5946 default in the next cycle.
5948 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

6507 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
6508 =====================================================
6510 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
6512 * g_test_run() no longer runs tests in exactly the order they are
6513 registered; instead, it groups them according to test suites (ie,
6514 path components) like the documentation always claimed it did. In
6515 some cases, this can result in a sub-optimal ordering of tests,
6516 relative to the old behavior. The fix is to change the test paths to
6517 properly group together the tests that should run together. (eg, if
6518 you want to run test_foo_simple(), test_bar_simple(), and
6519 test_foo_using_bar() in that order, they should have test paths like
6520 "/simple/foo", "/simple/bar", "/complex/foo-using-bar", not
6521 "/foo/simple", "/bar/simple", "/foo/using-bar" (which would result
6522 in test_foo_using_bar() running before test_bar_simple()).
6524 (The behavior actually changed in GLib 2.36, but it was not
6525 documented at the time, since we didn't realize it mattered.)
6527 There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
6531 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()

6550 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
6551 =====================================================
6553 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
6554 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
6555 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
6556 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
6557 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
6558 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
6560 New API: g_str_to_ascii()

6813 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
6814 ====================================================
6816 * GSettings fixes/improvements
6818 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
6820 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
6821 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
6824 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
6825 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
6828 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
6830 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
6832 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
6835 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
6836 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
6838 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
6840 * Applications/Actions
6842 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
6843 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
6846 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
6847 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
6849 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
6850 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
6851 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
6852 not itself at fault for the errant call)
6856 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
6857 accesses that are performed in common situations
6859 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
6860 are installed/removed
6862 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
6863 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
6865 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
6866 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
6871 - ignore qualified tags, as above
6873 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
6874 that test programs don't pick them up
6876 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
6878 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
6879 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
6880 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
6881 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
6883 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
6884 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
6886 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
6887 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
6888 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
6892 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
6894 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
6896 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
6898 Translations updated:
6906 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

6910 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
6911 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key

6914 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata

6916 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
6917 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
6918 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

6948 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
6949 ====================================================
6951 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
6955 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
6957 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
6958 them can restart the application with an action (via
6963 - new API for launching subprocesses
6965 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
6967 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
6969 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
6970 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
6972 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
6974 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
6976 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
6977 actions and listing apps and actions
6979 - bash tab completion is supported
6981 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
6983 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
6984 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
6986 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
6987 DBusActivatable=true
6989 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
6990 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
6995 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
6997 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
6998 class and inotify backend
7000 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
7001 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
7003 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
7008 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
7009 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
7010 when there are invalid schemas installed
7012 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
7016 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
7017 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
7019 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
7022 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
7023 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
7024 semantics of the interface in each case
7026 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
7027 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
7029 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
7031 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
7032 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
7033 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
7034 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
7038 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
7041 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
7043 * Portability improvements
7045 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
7047 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
7048 actually support it (like Hurd)
7050 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
7052 * Other small API changes/additions
7054 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
7055 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
7056 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
7058 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
7060 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
7061 G_LOG_ERROR messages
7063 * GMainContext/GSource
7065 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
7067 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
7068 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
7069 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
7070 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
7071 broken and should probably be fixed.
7073 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
7074 require use of a linked list
7078 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
7079 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
7080 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
7082 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
7086 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
7087 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
7088 gphoto, archive, at least).
7090 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
7092 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
7095 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
7096 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
7097 (which shared exactly the same bug)
7099 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
7101 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
7103 * Many documentation improvements
7106 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
7107 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
7108 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

7161 What's new in Glib 2.38
7162 ========================
7164 * Application support
7166 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
7167 desktop entry specification
7169 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
7170 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
7171 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
7173 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
7174 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
7175 to launch other applications
7177 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
7178 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
7182 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
7183 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
7184 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
7185 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
7186 any problems that this may have caused.
7188 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
7189 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
7190 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
7191 (allowing memory savings)
7193 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
7194 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
7195 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
7197 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
7198 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
7201 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
7202 without destroying one of the objects involved
7206 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
7207 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
7208 with a finite number of cases
7210 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
7211 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
7213 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
7214 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
7215 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
7216 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
7219 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
7223 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
7224 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
7225 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
7227 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
7229 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
7230 and an API to check them
7232 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
7233 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
7235 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
7236 with most functions, but this is not recommended
7240 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
7241 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
7242 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
7245 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
7246 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
7247 particular directory (akin to 'du').
7249 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
7254 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
7255 allow for regexp matching on streams
7257 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
7258 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
7259 g_variant_new_printf()
7263 - we can now generate TAP output
7265 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
7266 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
7268 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
7273 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

7472 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
7473 build the unmodified source
7475 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
7477 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
7478 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
7479 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
7486 698375 - D-Bus async properties

7492 ==============================================
7494 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
7495 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
7497 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
7498 and will trigger a warning.
7501 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

7535 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
7536 ==============================================
7538 * add support for installed tests:
7539 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
7541 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
7542 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
7544 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
7546 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
7548 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
7549 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
7550 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
7552 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

7583 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
7584 ==============================================
7586 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
7587 and a parser API for them is now provided
7589 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
7590 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
7591 instance because a long-running operation is pending.
7593 * GLib can now be built with the bionic C library

7651 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
7652 ==============================================
7654 * It is no longer necessary to call g_type_init(). If you are
7655 loading GLib as a dynamic module, you should be careful to avoid
7656 unloading it, then subsequently loading it again. This never
7657 really worked before, but it is now explicitly undefined behavior.
7658 Note that if g_type_init() was the only explicit use of a GObject
7659 API and you are using linker flags such as --no-add-needed, then
7660 you may have to artificially use some GObject call to keep the
7661 linker from optimizing away -lgobject. We recommend to use
7662 g_type_ensure (G_TYPE_OBJECT) for this purpose.
7664 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
7665 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
7666 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
7667 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
7668 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
7670 * The 'flowinfo' and 'scope_id' fields of GInetSocketAddress
7671 (introduced in GLib 2.32) have been fixed to be in host byte order
7672 rather than network byte order. This is an incompatible change, but
7673 the previous behavior was clearly broken, so it seems unlikely that
7674 anyone was using it.
7676 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
7678 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
7679 the destination file
7681 - fix some 'available since' annotations
7683 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
7686 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code

7705 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
7706 ==============================================
7708 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
7709 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
7710 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
7711 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

7765 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
7766 ==============================================
7768 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
7769 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
7770 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
7771 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
7772 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
7776 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
7777 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
7779 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
7780 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
7781 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
7782 * documentation fixes
7783 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
7786 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

7800 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
7801 ==============================================
7803 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
7805 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
7806 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
7808 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
7809 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
7811 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
7824 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
7825 ==============================================
7827 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
7830 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
7831 ready at a specified monotonic time
7833 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
7835 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

7937 * Translation updates:
7952 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
7953 ==============================================
7955 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
7956 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
7957 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
7958 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
7959 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
7961 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
7962 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
7963 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
7964 particular, are incompatible.
7966 * Bugs fixed in this release:
7967 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants

8000 * Translation updates:
8011 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
8012 ==============================================
8014 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
8015 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
8016 causing regressions in applications.
8018 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
8019 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
8020 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
8023 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
8024 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
8025 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
8027 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
8029 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
8031 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
8033 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
8035 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
8037 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
8039 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
8041 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
8043 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
8045 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

8095 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
8096 ==============================================
8098 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
8099 give feedback if they cause trouble:
8101 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
8102 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
8104 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
8106 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

8656 * Updated translations:
8683 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.22 to 2.32.0
8684 ===============================================
8686 * It is no longer necessary to use g_thread_init() or to link against
8687 libgthread. libglib is now always thread-enabled. Custom thread
8688 system implementations are no longer supported (including errorcheck
8691 * The thread and synchronisation APIs have been updated.
8692 GMutex and GCond can be statically allocated without explicit
8693 initialisation, as can new types GRWLock and GRecMutex. The
8694 GStatic_______ variants of these types have been deprecated. GPrivate
8695 can also be statically allocated and has a nicer API (deprecating
8696 GStaticPrivate). Finally, g_thread_create() has been replaced with a
8697 substantially simplified g_thread_new().
8699 * The g_once_init_enter()/_leave() functions have been replaced with
8700 macros that allow for a pointer to any gsize-sized object, not just a
8701 gsize*. The assertions to ensure that a pointer to a correctly-sized
8702 object is being used will not work with generic pointers (ie: (void*)
8703 and (gpointer) casts) which would have worked with the old version.
8705 * It is now mandatory to include glib.h instead of individual headers.
8707 * The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
8709 * For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public
8710 dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been
8711 private). This means that programs got away with calling
8712 g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their
8715 gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause
8716 such programs to break.
8718 The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency
8719 on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib
8720 versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init().
8722 * g_debug() output is no longer enabled by default. It can be enabled
8723 on a per-domain basis with the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable
8725 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=domain1,domain2
8727 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all

8992 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
8993 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
8994 to an overridden property
8995 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
8996 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
8998 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:

9043 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
9044 ==============================================
9046 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
9047 moved to GtkApplication.
9049 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
9050 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
9051 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
9052 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
9054 * lots of documentation improvements
9056 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
9058 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
9059 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
9061 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
9063 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
9065 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
9067 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
9068 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)

9087 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
9088 ==============================================
9090 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
9091 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
9092 There have also been many related improvements to action group
9095 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
9096 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
9097 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
9100 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
9101 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
9102 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
9103 through an idle on the context.
9105 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
9106 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
9107 fixes here and there.
9109 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
9110 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
9111 API available outside GLib
9113 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

9148 ==============================================
9150 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
9152 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
9154 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
9155 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
9156 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
9158 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
9161 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
9162 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
9163 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
9166 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
9167 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

9173 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
9174 - various GIO file and stream fixes
9175 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
9177 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
9178 =================================================
9180 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
9181 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
9183 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
9184 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
9185 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
9186 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
9187 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
9188 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
9189 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
9190 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
9191 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
9192 required (and has been deprecated)
9193 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
9194 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
9195 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
9196 without explicit initialisation.
9197 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
9198 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
9199 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
9201 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
9202 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
9203 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
9204 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
9205 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
9206 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
9207 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
9209 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
9210 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
9211 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
9212 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
9213 - GThread is now a refcounted type
9214 - other implementation details changed
9216 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
9217 deprecated/ directory.
9219 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
9220 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
9221 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
9223 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
9224 platform over a year ago).
9226 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
9227 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
9229 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
9230 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
9232 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
9233 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
9234 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
9235 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
9238 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
9239 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
9242 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
9244 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
9245 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
9247 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
9248 in a multi-threaded program
9250 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
9251 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
9254 - drop -uninstalled variants
9255 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
9257 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
9258 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
9259 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
9261 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
9263 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
9264 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
9267 - many code generation updates and improvements
9268 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
9271 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
9272 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
9274 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
9276 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
9279 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
9280 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
9282 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
9283 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
9285 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
9287 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
9291 * Partial list of bugs closed:
9292 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

9403 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
9404 ================================================
9406 * GObject includes a generic marshaller, g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
9407 To use it, simply specify NULL as the marshaller in g_signal_new().

9722 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
9723 ==============================================
9725 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
9726 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
9727 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
9728 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
9729 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
9730 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
9732 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
9733 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
9735 * Access to quarks is now lockless
9737 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
9739 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

9790 * Updated translations:
9799 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
9800 ==============================================
9803 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
9804 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
9805 an 'object manager' pattern:
9806 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
9807 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
9808 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
9809 And server-side implementations:
9810 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
9811 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
9812 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
9816 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
9820 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
9821 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
9822 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
9823 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
9826 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
9827 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
9830 * Unix-specific APIs:
9831 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
9832 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
9833 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
9834 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
9835 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
9836 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

9860 * Updated translations
9867 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
9868 ==============================================
9871 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
9872 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
9873 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
9876 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
9877 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
9878 situations has been improved
9881 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
9882 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
9885 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
9886 match strcmp() semantics
9887 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
9888 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
9889 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
9891 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
9892 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
9895 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
9897 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
9899 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
9900 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
9901 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

10231 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
10232 ==============================================
10235 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
10236 - Support environment passing
10239 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
10240 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
10242 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
10243 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
10244 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
10248 158725 free linked list with data
10249 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

10267 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
10268 ==============================================
10270 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
10271 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
10273 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
10274 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
10276 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
10278 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
10280 g_settings_get_range
10281 g_settings_range_check
10282 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
10284 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
10285 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
10287 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
10288 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
10290 g_main_context_invoke
10291 g_main_context_invoke_full
10293 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
10294 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
10295 looking for default applications.
10297 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
10298 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
10299 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
10300 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
10302 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
10303 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
10304 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

10563 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
10565 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
10566 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
10567 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
10568 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
10571 There have been many other improvements, however:
10574 - vastly improved test coverage
10575 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
10576 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
10577 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

10589 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
10591 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
10594 - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
10595 without mapping functions
10596 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
10599 - improve closure support for bindings
10600 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag

10629 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
10630 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
10631 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
10632 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
10633 | required (and will be along soon). |
10634 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

10697 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
10698 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
10699 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
10700 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
10701 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
10704 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
10705 -Bsymbolic-functions
10706 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
10707 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
10708 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
10709 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
10710 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
10713 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
10714 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
10715 nobody was doing that.
10716 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
10718 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
10719 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
10721 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
10722 have a serial number
10723 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
10725 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
10727 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
10728 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
10729 has finished running on GDBus services.
10730 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
10731 this due to the obvious race)
10732 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
10733 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
10736 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
10737 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
10738 arguments and different behaviour
10739 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
10740 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
10741 strings instead of utf8 strings
10742 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
10743 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
10744 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
10745 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
10746 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
10747 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
10748 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
10749 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
10750 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
10753 - improved documentation
10754 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
10755 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
10756 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
10757 overridden using <override>.
10758 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
10759 - lots of new tests
10760 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
10761 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
10762 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
10763 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
10764 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
10765 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
10766 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
10767 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
10768 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
10769 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
10770 being set due to a premature free
10771 - command line tool: bash completion support
10772 - chain up in _finalize
10773 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
10775 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
10776 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
10777 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
10779 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
10780 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
10781 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
10782 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
10783 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
10787 - always intern GBinding prop names
10788 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
10789 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
10790 - GNode docs improvements
10791 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
10792 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation

11213 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.24.0 to GLib 2.25.0
11214 ===================================================
11216 * The GSettings framework has been merged. This provides the API to
11217 replace GConf. DConf will provide a backend implementation for it.
11218 GConf will also provide a backend implementation to ease the
11219 transition. We provide utilities to assist with schema conversion
11220 and data migration, as well as a porting guide.

11232 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.6 to GLib 2.24.0
11233 ===================================================
11235 * It is now allowed to call g_thread_init(NULL) multiple times, and
11236 to call glib functions before g_thread_init(NULL) is called
11237 (although the later is mainly a change in docs as this worked before
11238 too). See the GThread reference documentation for the details.
11240 * GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
11241 when g_type_init() is called.
11243 * GObject no longer allows to call g_object_set() on construct-only properties
11244 while an object is being initialized. If this behavior is needed, setting a
11245 custom constructor that just chains up will re-enable this functionality.
11247 * GMappedFile on an empty file now returns NULL for the contents instead of
11248 returning an empty string. The documentation specifically states that code
11249 may not rely on nul-termination here so any breakage caused by this change
11250 is a bug in application code.

11419 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.1 to GLib 2.23.2
11420 ===================================================
11422 * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
11424 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
11426 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
11427 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
11428 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
11430 * Threading changes:
11431 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
11432 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
11434 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
11435 when g_type_init() is called.
11436 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
11439 - Another bunch of performance work has landed
11442 - GVariantType has been merged, with the rest of the GVariant

11514 ===================================================
11517 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
11518 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
11519 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
11520 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
11521 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
11522 while loading or saving it.
11523 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
11524 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
11525 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
11528 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
11529 interfaces to dynamic types.
11532 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
11533 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
11534 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

11891 - New helper functions g_cancellable_connect/disconnect to avoid
11892 race conditions when connecting to the "cancelled" signal on
11894 - New types and methods for dealing with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (and
11895 UNIX domain socket addresses under UNIX). This does not include code
11896 for actual socket I/O.
11897 - GResolver provides asynchronous and cancellable APIs for resolving

11976 * The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() +
11977 friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs
11978 with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26,
11979 FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile
11980 constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate
11981 POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale. The
11982 only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an
11983 URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of
11984 looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at
11985 the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile
11986 object with the given URI.
11988 * Base64 support: Avoid integer overflows. CVE-2008-4316

12268 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
12269 ===================================================
12271 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
12272 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
12273 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
12274 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
12275 also uses less memory overall.
12277 * Make g_poll available as public api
12279 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
12280 that a GError is set or unset
12282 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
12284 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
12285 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
12287 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
12288 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

12365 ===================================================
12367 * The recommended way of using GLib has always been to only include the
12368 toplevel headers glib.h, glib-object.h and gio.h. GLib enforces this by
12369 generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
12370 To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
12371 default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
12372 To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.

13704 - Fix g_listenv() implementation.
13705 - Allow up to 100 GPrivate structs
13707 * Translation updates (fr,hu,lt,pl,sv)
13710 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.6 to GLib 2.10.0
13711 ==================================================
13713 * The functions g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf() have been removed from
13714 the gprintf.h header, since they are already declared in glib.h. This
13715 doesn't break documented use of gprintf.h, but people have been known
13716 to include gprintf.h without including glib.h.
13718 * The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. This adds several
13719 new members to the GUnicodeBreakType enumeration.
13721 * The support for Solaris threads has been retired. Solaris has provided
13722 POSIX threads for long enough now to have them available on every
13725 * 'make check' has been changed to validate translations by calling
13726 msgfmt with the -c option. As a result, it may fail on systems with
13727 older gettext implementations (GNU gettext < 0.14.1, or Solaris gettext).
13728 'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not
13729 support ELF visibility attributes.
13731 * The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice
13732 allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details.
13734 * A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
13735 intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
13736 concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
13737 inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
13738 bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
13739 system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
13740 carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
13741 to help with the transition.

13896 * Memory management
13897 - The slice allocator is implemented [Tim Janik]
13898 - g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to
13899 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
13900 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
13903 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
13906 - Support for Solaris threads has been removed
13907 [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
13908 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
13909 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
13910 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
13911 variants [Martyn Russell]
13914 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
13915 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
13918 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
13921 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
13922 constants [Andrew Paprocki]
13923 - G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT macro to instruct the
13924 compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
13925 by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]
13926 - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an
13927 extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]

13942 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
13943 =================================================
13945 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
13946 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
13947 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
13949 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
13950 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
13953 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
13954 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
13955 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
13956 "stutter stepping".
13957 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
13959 * Memory management:
13960 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
13961 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
13962 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
13963 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
13964 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
13965 never worked as intended.
13966 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
13967 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
13968 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
13969 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
13970 efficient and scalable implementation.
13971 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
13973 * Pattern matching:
13974 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
13975 unnecessary recursion.
13978 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
13979 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
13980 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
13983 * g_thread_foreach:
13984 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
13987 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
13988 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
13989 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
13993 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
13994 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
13995 since they are in glib.h

14014 v_long, not v_int, in order to work on bigendian
14016 * Make g_flags_get_first_value() handle a value
14017 of 0 meaningfully. [Tim-Philipp Müller]

14174 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
14175 =================================================
14177 * GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of 'GLib filename encoding', which is the
14178 on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. All GLib functions
14179 returning or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect
14180 filenames in this encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing
14181 with pathnames have been wrapped. These wrappers are declared in the
14182 header <glib/gstdio.h> which must be included explicitly; it is not
14183 included through <glib.h>.
14185 On current (NT-based) Windows versions, where the on-disk file names
14186 are Unicode, these wrappers use the wide-character API in the C
14187 library. Thus applications can handle file names containing any
14188 Unicode characters through GLib's own API and its POSIX wrappers,
14189 not just file names restricted to characters in the system codepage.
14191 To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against
14192 older versions of GLib, the Windows DLL still provides entry points
14193 with the old semantics using the old names, and applications
14194 compiled against GLib 2.6 will actually use new names for the
14195 functions. This is transparent to the programmer.
14197 When compiling against GLib 2.6, applications intended to be
14198 portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into
14199 consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose
14200 names have been constructed from strings returned from GLib.
14202 * Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed
14203 to return UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for
14204 applications compiled against older versions of GLib.
14206 * The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
14207 must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
14208 with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not.
14209 In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that,
14210 GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed
14211 header files and were never intended to be exported.
14213 * To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GLib, when compiled
14214 with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
14215 points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
14216 IA__, may be seen when debugging a GLib program.
14218 * On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window when printing
14219 warning messages if stdout or stderr are invalid, as they are in
14220 "Windows subsystem" (GUI) applications. Simply redirect stdout or
14221 stderr if you need to see them.
14223 * The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many
14224 thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads
14225 implementation on Linux) where it's not possible to call waitpid()
14226 for a child created in a different thread. For this reason, for
14227 maximum portability, you should structure your code to fork all
14228 child processes that you want to wait for from the main thread.
14230 * A problem was recently discovered with g_signal_connect_object();
14231 it doesn't actually disconnect the signal handler once the object being
14232 connected to dies, just disables it. See the API docs for the function
14233 for further details and the correct workaround that will continue to
14234 work with future versions of GLib.
14237 - GOption, a commandline option parser
14238 - GKeyFile, a parser/editor for the .ini like files
14239 - Functions to support the XDG basedir specification
14240 - Wrappers for common POSIX pathname functions to handle filename
14241 encodings consistently. On Windows, these use UTF-8.
14243 * Miscellaneous new functions
14244 - g_filename_display_name() converts filenames in displayable UTF-8 strings
14245 - g_uri_list_extract_uris() splits uri lists
14246 - g_date_get_iso8601_week_of_year() gets ISO 8601 week numbers
14247 - g_log_set_default_handler() installs an alternate default log handler
14248 - g_get_language_names() obtains a list of applicable locale names
14249 - g_strv_length() calculates the length of NULL-terminated string arrays
14250 - g_win32_get_windows_version() determines the Windows version
14251 - G_GNUC_INTERNAL marks functions as non-exported
14252 - glib_check_version() checks the GLib version at runtime

14259 - Get rid of many PLT entries for internally used exported symbols
14260 - Reduce code size by removing literal strings from g_return_if_fail()
14263 - On Windows, GLib functions that take file name arguments now require
14264 those to be in UTF-8. Functions that return file names return UTF-8.
14265 - Use higher precision for mathematical constants
14266 - Don't convert to/from UTF-8 in g_filename_to_uri/g_filename_from_uri
14267 - Support ll as printf format modifier for long long on all platforms
14268 - Clean up the ABI and enforce the list of exported symbols

15243 * glib-config features extra "glib" (old behaviour remains) and "gmodule"
15244 (add libgmodule.so to the --libs output) arguments now. this can also
15245 be specified as fourth argument to the AM_PATH_GLIB() macro.
15246 * Overhaul of the `inline' autoconfiguration stuff, so inlining should be
15247 sufficiently supported on all systems that allow inlining now.
15248 * New g_log() mechanism for logging of messages at different log levels,

15254 a publically exported g_strdup_vprintf().
15255 People that used the former g_vsprintf() would definitely want to read the
15256 associated ChangeLog entries (grep for printf).
15257 * New utility functions:
15258 g_strndup(), g_on_error_query(), g_on_error_stack_trace(), g_strdup_printf(),
15259 g_strdup_vprintf(), g_printf_string_upper_bound(), g_spaced_primes_closest(),
15260 g_strnfill(), g_memdup().
15261 * Overhaul of the array implementations, this contains some source incompatible
15262 changes. Again, the ChangeLog is much more informative (grep for garray.c).
15263 * The internals of the g_dataset mechanism are now exported through the
15264 new g_datalist_* API (this is also the underlying implementation for the
15265 keyed data of GtkObjects).
15266 * New function g_atexit(), use of the ATEXIT() macro is discouraged.
15267 * Better configure checks for ansi compliance.
15268 * Libtool update to version 1.2b.
15269 * Lotsa bug fixes and cleanups as always ;)
