424 ==============================================
427 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
428 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
429 to an overridden property
430 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref

468 * Updated translations
478 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
479 ==============================================
481 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
482 moved to GtkApplication.
484 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
485 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
486 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
487 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
489 * lots of documentation improvements
491 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
493 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
494 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
496 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
498 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
500 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
502 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
503 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
506 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
507 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

511 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
512 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
513 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
514 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
515 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
516 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
518 * Translations updated:
522 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
523 ==============================================
525 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
526 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
527 There have also been many related improvements to action group
530 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
531 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
532 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
535 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
536 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
537 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
538 through an idle on the context.
540 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
541 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
542 fixes here and there.
544 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
545 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
546 API available outside GLib
548 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

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

612 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
613 =================================================
615 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
616 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
618 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
619 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
620 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
621 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
622 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
623 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
624 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
625 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
626 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
627 required (and has been deprecated)
628 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
629 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
630 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
631 without explicit initialisation.
632 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
633 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
634 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
636 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
637 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
638 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
639 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
640 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
641 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
642 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
644 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
645 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
646 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
647 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
648 - GThread is now a refcounted type
649 - other implementation details changed
651 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
652 deprecated/ directory.
654 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
655 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
656 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
658 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
659 platform over a year ago).
661 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
662 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
664 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
665 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
667 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
668 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
669 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
670 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
673 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
674 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
677 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
679 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
680 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
682 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
683 in a multi-threaded program
685 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
686 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
689 - drop -uninstalled variants
690 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
692 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
693 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
694 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
696 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
698 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
699 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
702 - many code generation updates and improvements
703 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
706 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
707 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
709 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
711 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
714 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
715 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
717 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
718 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
720 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
722 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
726 * Partial list of bugs closed:
727 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

1142 * Translation updates:
1152 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
1153 ==============================================
1155 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
1156 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
1157 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
1158 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
1159 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
1160 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
1162 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
1163 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
1165 * Access to quarks is now lockless
1167 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
1169 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

1229 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
1230 ==============================================
1233 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
1234 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
1235 an 'object manager' pattern:
1236 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
1237 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
1238 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
1239 And server-side implementations:
1240 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
1241 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
1242 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
1246 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
1250 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
1251 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
1252 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
1253 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
1256 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
1257 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
1260 * Unix-specific APIs:
1261 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
1262 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
1263 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
1264 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
1265 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
1266 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

1288 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
1290 * Updated translations
1297 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
1298 ==============================================
1301 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
1302 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
1303 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
1306 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
1307 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
1308 situations has been improved
1311 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
1312 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
1315 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
1316 match strcmp() semantics
1317 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
1318 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
1319 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
1321 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
1322 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
1325 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
1327 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
1329 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
1330 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
1331 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

1611 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
1612 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
1617 g_get_monotonic_time
1619 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
1622 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
1624 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
1626 g_simple_async_result_take_error
1627 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
1628 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
1630 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
1633 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
1634 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
1635 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE

1661 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
1662 - Support environment passing
1665 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
1666 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
1668 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
1669 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
1670 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
1674 158725 free linked list with data
1675 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

1684 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
1685 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
1687 * Translation updates:
1693 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
1694 ==============================================
1696 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
1697 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
1699 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
1700 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
1702 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
1704 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
1706 g_settings_get_range
1707 g_settings_range_check
1708 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
1710 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
1711 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
1713 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
1714 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
1716 g_main_context_invoke
1717 g_main_context_invoke_full
1719 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
1720 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
1721 looking for default applications.
1723 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
1724 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
1725 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
1726 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
1728 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
1729 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
1730 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

1988 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
1989 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1991 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
1992 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
1993 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
1994 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
1997 There have been many other improvements, however:
2000 - vastly improved test coverage
2001 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
2002 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
2003 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

2051 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
2052 =====================================================
2054 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2055 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
2056 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
2057 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
2058 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
2059 | required (and will be along soon). |
2060 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2063 - cleanup automake setup
2064 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
2065 - various docs fixups

2084 - constness fixes for introspection structures
2085 - clean ups to subtree registration API
2088 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

2120 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
2121 =====================================================
2123 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2124 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
2125 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
2126 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
2127 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2130 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
2131 -Bsymbolic-functions
2132 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
2133 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
2134 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
2135 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
2136 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2139 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
2140 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
2141 nobody was doing that.
2142 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
2144 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
2145 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
2147 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
2148 have a serial number
2149 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
2151 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
2153 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
2154 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
2155 has finished running on GDBus services.
2156 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
2157 this due to the obvious race)
2158 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
2159 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
2162 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
2163 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
2164 arguments and different behaviour
2165 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
2166 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
2167 strings instead of utf8 strings
2168 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
2169 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
2170 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
2171 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
2172 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
2173 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
2174 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
2175 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
2176 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
2179 - improved documentation
2180 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
2181 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
2182 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
2183 overridden using <override>.
2184 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
2186 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
2187 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
2188 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
2189 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
2190 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
2191 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
2192 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
2193 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
2194 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
2195 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
2196 being set due to a premature free
2197 - command line tool: bash completion support
2198 - chain up in _finalize
2199 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
2201 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
2202 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
2203 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
2205 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
2206 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
2207 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
2208 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
2209 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
2213 - always intern GBinding prop names
2214 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
2215 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
2216 - GNode docs improvements
2217 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
2218 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
2219 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
2223 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
2224 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
2225 - improved tests for GKeyfile
2226 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
2227 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
2228 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
2229 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
2230 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
2232 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
2233 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
2234 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2235 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
2236 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
2237 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
2238 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
2239 610784 array test failing
2240 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
2241 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
2242 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
2243 622124 implement flags
2244 622127 GSettings extended key validation
2245 622128 retry with default value for failed mapping
2246 622294 More annotations for GVariant
2247 622565 glib-compile-schemas fails when no schemas

2933 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
2934 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
2937 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
2938 interfaces to dynamic types.

3665 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
3666 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and

3668 also uses less memory overall.

3677 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
3678 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
3680 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
