+Overview of changes in GLib 2.73.3, 2022-08-05
+==============================================
+
+* Revitalize G_REGEX_OPTIMIZE flag and use it to enable PCRE JIT compiler (work
+ by Aleksei Rybalkin) (!2817)
+
+* Fix some regressions due to the PCRE2 port (work
+ by Aleksei Rybalkin, Mamoru TASAKA and Marco Trevisan) (!2814, !2827, #2694,
+ #2699, #2700)
+
+* Fix a pidfd leak that was introduced in the previous release (work by
+ Christian Hergert) (#2708)
+
+* Support compilation without a C++ toolchain (work by James Hilliard) (!2822)
+
+* GDBus: Use namespace-friendly protocol for Linux message buses, and optionally
+ other connections (work by Simon McVittie) (!2832)
+
+* Fix potential races in multi-threaded signal connections handling (work by
+ Marco Trevisan) (!2823)
+
+* Add back gio-launch-desktop to redirect stdout/stderr of launched
+ GDesktopAppInfo's to the journal with proper parent (work by Simon McVittie)
+ (!2818, !2819, #2682)
+
+* Executables that are invoked when installing other software, typically
+ from packaging system triggers, can now be installed into
+ architecture-dependent locations. Unix OS distributors who install
+ GLib for more than one architecture in parallel (multiarch or multilib
+ installations) should consider building with -Dmultiarch=true, installing
+ the bin/glib-compile-schemas and bin/gio-querymodules symbolic links in
+ packages for the primary architecture, and omitting those symlinks from
+ packages for secondary architectures. (work by Simon McVittie) (!2818)
+
+* Some enumerators introduced in previous releases have been changed, for better
+ introspection results:
+ - G_MARKUP_PARSE_FLAGS_NONE renamed to G_MARKUP_DEFAULT_FLAGS
+ - G_TLS_CERTIFICATE_FLAGS_NONE renamed to G_TLS_CERTIFICATE_NO_FLAGS
+ - G_APPLICATION_FLAGS_NONE was deprecated, use G_APPLICATION_DEFAULT_FLAGS now
+ (work by Emmanuele Bassi) (!2835)

+* gfileinfo: Implement xattr attribute removal (work by madmurphy) (#1187)
+
+* Add support to --delete option to gio set, to unset a file attribute (work by
+ codeboybebop) (#2588)
+
+* Improve default value of glib_debug option: G_ENABLE_DEBUG will be defined
+ only if using `--buildtype=debug` or enabled via `-Dglib_debug`, but it
+ won't ever be set if an optimized build is requested (specifically if the
+ optimization level is not `0` or `g`) as it may be the case when using
+ `--buildtype=debugoptimized` (work by Michael Catanzaro) (!2851)
+
+* Probably the first revision of any GNOME module ever released from Cuba :)
+
+* Bugs fixed:

+ - #1187 xattr add possibility to remove an extended attribute
+ - #2509 g_spawn_*() is not thread-safe on Windows when an environment table is
+ provided

+
+
+Overview of changes in GLib 2.67.1
+==================================
+
+* Deprecate `g_time_zone_new()` in favour of `g_time_zone_new_identifier()`,
+ which makes error checking easier (#553)
+
+* Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should
+ adjust your code to not use `volatile` for atomic variables, `GOnce`
+ variables, or mostly anything else (see
+ http://isvolatileusefulwiththreads.in/c/). (#600)
+
+* Support passing file handles to `gdbus` command line tool (work by
+ Norbert Pocs and Tim Waugh) (#961)
+
+* Add `g_assert_cmpstrv()` test convenience function (work by Niels De Graef) (#2015)
+
+* Changes to the behaviour of the `G_URI_FLAGS_SCHEME_NORMALIZE` scheme
+ normalization flag in `GUri` (work by Carlos Garcia Campos) (#2257, !1716)
+
+* Add new `--run-prefix` and `--skip-prefix` options to GTest, to allow running
+ or skipping test suites by prefix (work by Frederic Martinsons) (!1738)
+
+* Fix thread-safety of `GBinding`; see the updated documentation for
+ `g_object_bind_property()` for full details — if your code uses `GBinding`
+ across threads, you should re-check it against the latest documentation, use
+ `g_binding_unbind()` rather than implicitly dropping the binding with your
+ last `g_object_unref()` call, and use `g_binding_dup_source()`/`g_binding_dup_target()`
+ instead of `g_binding_get_source()`/`g_binding_get_target()`
+ (work by Sebastian Dröge) (!1745)
+

+ - #2233 GSocketClient crashes on connection failure
+ - #2236 Docs: gdbus-codegen example links broken

Overview of changes in GLib 2.67.0
==================================
Overview of changes in GLib 2.48.0
==================================
+ * The system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
+ Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
+ is unavailable or undesired.
+
* a minor build fix in the name of determinism
* a few coverity fixes
Overview of changes in GLib 2.46.0
==================================
+* GTask no longer imposes a fixed limit on the number of tasks that
+ can be run_in_thread() simultaneously, since doing this inevitably
+ results in deadlocks in some use cases. Instead, it now has a base
+ number of threads that can be used "for free", but will gradually
+ add more threads to the pool if too much time passes without any
+ tasks completing.
+
+ The exact behavior may continue to change in the future, and it's
+ possible that some future version of GLib may not do any
+ rate-limiting at all. As a result, you should no longer assume that
+ GTask will rate-limit tasks itself (or, by extension, that calls to
+ certain async gio methods will automatically be rate-limited for
+ you). If you have a very large number of tasks to run, and don't
+ want them to all run at once, you should rate-limit them yourself.
+
* Disable runtime-deprecation warnings
* Fix marshalling of flags on bigendian 64bit architectures
This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
+* g_test_run() no longer runs tests in exactly the order they are
+ registered; instead, it groups them according to test suites (ie,
+ path components) like the documentation always claimed it did. In
+ some cases, this can result in a sub-optimal ordering of tests,
+ relative to the old behavior. The fix is to change the test paths to
+ properly group together the tests that should run together. (eg, if
+ you want to run test_foo_simple(), test_bar_simple(), and
+ test_foo_using_bar() in that order, they should have test paths like
+ "/simple/foo", "/simple/bar", "/complex/foo-using-bar", not
+ "/foo/simple", "/bar/simple", "/foo/using-bar" (which would result
+ in test_foo_using_bar() running before test_bar_simple()).
+
+ (The behavior actually changed in GLib 2.36, but it was not
+ documented at the time, since we didn't realize it mattered.)
+
There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
been fixed.
Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
==============================================
+* It is no longer necessary to call g_type_init(). If you are
+ loading GLib as a dynamic module, you should be careful to avoid
+ unloading it, then subsequently loading it again. This never
+ really worked before, but it is now explicitly undefined behavior.
+ Note that if g_type_init() was the only explicit use of a GObject
+ API and you are using linker flags such as --no-add-needed, then
+ you may have to artificially use some GObject call to keep the
+ linker from optimizing away -lgobject. We recommend to use
+ g_type_ensure (G_TYPE_OBJECT) for this purpose.
+
+* This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
+ function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
+ environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
+ As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
+ value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
+
+* The 'flowinfo' and 'scope_id' fields of GInetSocketAddress
+ (introduced in GLib 2.32) have been fixed to be in host byte order
+ rather than network byte order. This is an incompatible change, but
+ the previous behavior was clearly broken, so it seems unlikely that
+ anyone was using it.
+
This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
- g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
Overview of changes from GLib 2.33.14 to 2.34.0
===============================================
+* GIO now looks for thumbnails in XDG_CACHE_HOME, following a
+ recent alignment of the thumbnail spec with the basedir spec.
+
+* The default values for GThreadPools max_unused_threads and
+ max_idle_time settings have been changed to 2 and 15*1000,
+ respectively.
+
* Bug fixes:
654239 g_type_init()'s docs have no statement about how to...
674620 Update GSettings migration guide for intltool updates
Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.22 to 2.32.0
===============================================
+* It is no longer necessary to use g_thread_init() or to link against
+ libgthread. libglib is now always thread-enabled. Custom thread
+ system implementations are no longer supported (including errorcheck
+ mutexes).
+
+* The thread and synchronisation APIs have been updated.
+ GMutex and GCond can be statically allocated without explicit
+ initialisation, as can new types GRWLock and GRecMutex. The
+ GStatic_______ variants of these types have been deprecated. GPrivate
+ can also be statically allocated and has a nicer API (deprecating
+ GStaticPrivate). Finally, g_thread_create() has been replaced with a
+ substantially simplified g_thread_new().
+
+* The g_once_init_enter()/_leave() functions have been replaced with
+ macros that allow for a pointer to any gsize-sized object, not just a
+ gsize*. The assertions to ensure that a pointer to a correctly-sized
+ object is being used will not work with generic pointers (ie: (void*)
+ and (gpointer) casts) which would have worked with the old version.
+
+* It is now mandatory to include glib.h instead of individual headers.
+
+* The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
+
+* For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public
+ dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been
+ private). This means that programs got away with calling
+ g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their
+ dependencies.
+
+ gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause
+ such programs to break.
+
+ The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency
+ on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib
+ versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init().
+
+* g_debug() output is no longer enabled by default. It can be enabled
+ on a per-domain basis with the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable
+ like
+ G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=domain1,domain2
+ or
+ G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all
+
* Bugs fixed:
671988 Quickly registering / unregistering objects on bus...
672095 glib needs stable sort function
Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
================================================
+* GObject includes a generic marshaller, g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
+ To use it, simply specify NULL as the marshaller in g_signal_new().
+ The generic marshaller is implemented with libffi, and consequently
+ GObject depends on libffi now.
+
* API/ABI changes:
- unix signal watches now match the API of all of the other sources
- revert the addition of g_date_time_source_new () from last release
Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.93 to 2.28.0
===============================================
+* The GApplication API has changed compared to the version that was
+ included in the 2.25 development snapshots. Existing users will need
+ adjustments.
+
* Bugs fixed:
641363 GInitable documentation isn't clear about that finalize...
641395 Add more data about the origin application to the "Lau...
Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.6 to GLib 2.24.0
===================================================
+* It is now allowed to call g_thread_init(NULL) multiple times, and
+ to call glib functions before g_thread_init(NULL) is called
+ (although the later is mainly a change in docs as this worked before
+ too). See the GThread reference documentation for the details.
+
+* GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
+ when g_type_init() is called.
+
+* GObject no longer allows to call g_object_set() on construct-only properties
+ while an object is being initialized. If this behavior is needed, setting a
+ custom constructor that just chains up will re-enable this functionality.
+
+* GMappedFile on an empty file now returns NULL for the contents instead of
+ returning an empty string. The documentation specifically states that code
+ may not rely on nul-termination here so any breakage caused by this change
+ is a bug in application code.
+
* Bug fixes:
613601 buglet in dup_close_on_exec_fd
584284 g_data_input_stream_read_until_async behaves confusingly
Overview of Changes from GLib 2.21.6 to GLib 2.22.0
===================================================
+* Repeated calls to g_simple_async_result_set_op_res_gpointer used
+ to leak the data. This has been fixed to always call the provided
+ destroy notify.
+
* Add gdb python macros to make gobject debugging more pleasant
* Bugs fixed:
Overview of Changes from GLib 2.19.9 to GLib 2.20.0
===================================================
+* The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() +
+ friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs
+ with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26,
+ FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile
+ constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate
+ POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale. The
+ only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an
+ URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of
+ looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at
+ the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile
+ object with the given URI.
+
* Base64 support: Avoid integer overflows. CVE-2008-4316
* Bugs fixed:
Overview of Changes from GLib 2.17.7 to GLib 2.18.0
===================================================
+* The recommended way of using GLib has always been to only include the
+ toplevel headers glib.h, glib-object.h and gio.h. GLib enforces this by
+ generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
+ To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
+ default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
+ To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.
+
* Win32:
- rework the g_poll() implementation to match poll() semantics more closely
Overview of Changes from GLib 2.15.6 to GLib 2.16.0
===================================================
+* GLib now includes GIO, which adds optional dependencies against libattr
+ and libselinux for extended attribute and SELinux support. Use
+ --disable-xattr and --disable-selinux to build without these.
+
* Fix the definition of G_INLINE_FUNC to work with gcc 4.3.0
* GIO:
Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.6 to GLib 2.10.0
==================================================
+* The functions g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf() have been removed from
+ the gprintf.h header, since they are already declared in glib.h. This
+ doesn't break documented use of gprintf.h, but people have been known
+ to include gprintf.h without including glib.h.
+
+* The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. This adds several
+ new members to the GUnicodeBreakType enumeration.
+
+* The support for Solaris threads has been retired. Solaris has provided
+ POSIX threads for long enough now to have them available on every
+ Solaris platform.
+
+* 'make check' has been changed to validate translations by calling
+ msgfmt with the -c option. As a result, it may fail on systems with
+ older gettext implementations (GNU gettext < 0.14.1, or Solaris gettext).
+ 'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not
+ support ELF visibility attributes.
+
+* The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice
+ allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details.
+
+* A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
+ intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
+ concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
+ inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
+ bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
+ system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
+ carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
+ to help with the transition.
+
* Bugs fixed:
328997 64bit pointer trunction in glib slab-allocator
[Pascal Hofstee]
Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
=================================================
+* GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of 'GLib filename encoding', which is the
+ on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. All GLib functions
+ returning or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect
+ filenames in this encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing
+ with pathnames have been wrapped. These wrappers are declared in the
+ header <glib/gstdio.h> which must be included explicitly; it is not
+ included through <glib.h>.
+
+ On current (NT-based) Windows versions, where the on-disk file names
+ are Unicode, these wrappers use the wide-character API in the C
+ library. Thus applications can handle file names containing any
+ Unicode characters through GLib's own API and its POSIX wrappers,
+ not just file names restricted to characters in the system codepage.
+
+ To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against
+ older versions of GLib, the Windows DLL still provides entry points
+ with the old semantics using the old names, and applications
+ compiled against GLib 2.6 will actually use new names for the
+ functions. This is transparent to the programmer.
+
+ When compiling against GLib 2.6, applications intended to be
+ portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into
+ consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose
+ names have been constructed from strings returned from GLib.
+
+* Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed
+ to return UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for
+ applications compiled against older versions of GLib.
+
+* The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
+ must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
+ with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not.
+ In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that,
+ GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed
+ header files and were never intended to be exported.
+
+* To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GLib, when compiled
+ with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
+ points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
+ IA__, may be seen when debugging a GLib program.
+
+* On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window when printing
+ warning messages if stdout or stderr are invalid, as they are in
+ "Windows subsystem" (GUI) applications. Simply redirect stdout or
+ stderr if you need to see them.
+
+* The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many
+ thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads
+ implementation on Linux) where it's not possible to call waitpid()
+ for a child created in a different thread. For this reason, for
+ maximum portability, you should structure your code to fork all
+ child processes that you want to wait for from the main thread.
+
+* A problem was recently discovered with g_signal_connect_object();
+ it doesn't actually disconnect the signal handler once the object being
+ connected to dies, just disables it. See the API docs for the function
+ for further details and the correct workaround that will continue to
+ work with future versions of GLib.
+
* Major new APIs
- GOption, a commandline option parser
- GKeyFile, a parser/editor for the .ini like files
* the g_string(x) macro has been removed, #x may be used instead.

+=================================
+
+* New GModule mechanism (implemented in an extra library) which wraps dynamic
+ object code loading facilities in a portable manner.
+* glib-config features extra "glib" (old behaviour remains) and "gmodule"
+ (add libgmodule.so to the --libs output) arguments now. this can also
+ be specified as fourth argument to the AM_PATH_GLIB() macro.
+* Overhaul of the `inline' autoconfiguration stuff, so inlining should be
+ sufficiently supported on all systems that allow inlining now.
+* New g_log() mechanism for logging of messages at different log levels,
+ associated with certain log domains (define -DG_LOG_DOMAIN for your library).
+* New inline functions for bit masks tests.
+* GNode macros (and functions) now return the newly allocated node.
+* New macro G_VA_COPY() to work around va_list copying oddities on some
+ platforms. the non-static g_vsprintf() function vanished in favour of
+ a publically exported g_strdup_vprintf().
+ People that used the former g_vsprintf() would definitely want to read the
+ associated ChangeLog entries (grep for printf).
+* New utility functions:
+ g_strndup(), g_on_error_query(), g_on_error_stack_trace(), g_strdup_printf(),
+ g_strdup_vprintf(), g_printf_string_upper_bound(), g_spaced_primes_closest(),
+ g_strnfill(), g_memdup().
+* Overhaul of the array implementations, this contains some source incompatible
+ changes. Again, the ChangeLog is much more informative (grep for garray.c).
+* The internals of the g_dataset mechanism are now exported through the
+ new g_datalist_* API (this is also the underlying implementation for the
+ keyed data of GtkObjects).
+* New function g_atexit(), use of the ATEXIT() macro is discouraged.
+* Better configure checks for ansi compliance.
+* Libtool update to version 1.2b.
+* Lotsa bug fixes and cleanups as always ;)

+
+
+Overview of changes in GLib 1.1.0
+=================================
+
+* GLib is distributed seperatedly from Gtk+ now and uses a sophisticated
