114 * Translation updates:
129 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
130 ==============================================
132 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
133 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
134 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
135 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
136 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
138 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
139 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
140 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
141 particular, are incompatible.
143 * Bugs fixed in this release:

177 * Translation updates:
188 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
189 ==============================================
191 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
192 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
193 causing regressions in applications.
195 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
196 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
197 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
200 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
201 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
202 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
204 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
206 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
208 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
210 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
212 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
214 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
216 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
218 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
220 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
222 * Many other docs and annotations fixes
235 649302 Add support for GNU/FreeBSD

272 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
273 ==============================================
275 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
276 give feedback if they cause trouble:
278 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
279 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
281 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
283 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

1116 ==============================================
1119 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
1120 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
1121 to an overridden property
1122 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
1123 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
1125 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
1126 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

1170 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
1171 ==============================================
1173 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
1174 moved to GtkApplication.
1176 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
1177 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
1178 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
1179 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
1181 * lots of documentation improvements
1183 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
1185 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
1186 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
1188 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
1190 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
1192 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
1194 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
1195 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
1198 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates

1214 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
1215 ==============================================
1217 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
1218 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
1219 There have also been many related improvements to action group
1222 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
1223 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
1224 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
1227 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
1228 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
1229 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
1230 through an idle on the context.
1232 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
1233 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
1234 fixes here and there.
1236 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
1237 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
1238 API available outside GLib
1240 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

1274 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.0 to 2.31.2
1275 ==============================================
1277 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
1279 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
1281 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
1282 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
1283 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
1285 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
1288 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
1289 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
1290 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
1293 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
1294 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
1297 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
1300 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
1301 - various GIO file and stream fixes
1302 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
1304 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
1305 =================================================
1307 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
1308 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
1310 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
1311 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
1312 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
1313 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
1314 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
1315 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
1316 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
1317 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
1318 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
1319 required (and has been deprecated)
1320 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
1321 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
1322 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
1323 without explicit initialisation.
1324 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
1325 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
1326 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
1328 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
1329 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
1330 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
1331 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
1332 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
1333 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
1334 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1336 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1337 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1338 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1339 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1340 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1341 - other implementation details changed
1343 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1344 deprecated/ directory.
1346 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1347 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1348 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1350 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1351 platform over a year ago).
1353 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1354 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1356 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1357 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
1359 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
1360 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
1361 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
1362 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
1365 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
1366 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
1369 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
1371 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
1372 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
1374 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
1375 in a multi-threaded program
1377 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
1378 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
1381 - drop -uninstalled variants
1382 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
1384 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
1385 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
1386 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
1388 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
1390 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
1391 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
1394 - many code generation updates and improvements
1395 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
1398 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
1399 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
1401 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
1403 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
1406 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
1407 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
1409 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
1410 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
1412 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
1414 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
1418 * Partial list of bugs closed:

1844 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
1845 ==============================================
1847 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
1848 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
1849 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
1850 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
1851 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
1852 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
1854 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
1855 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
1857 * Access to quarks is now lockless
1859 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
1861 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
1863 * Introspection improvements:

1912 * Updated translations:
1921 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
1922 ==============================================
1925 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
1926 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
1927 an 'object manager' pattern:
1928 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
1929 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
1930 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
1931 And server-side implementations:
1932 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
1933 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
1934 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
1938 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
1942 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
1943 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
1944 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
1945 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
1948 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
1949 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
1952 * Unix-specific APIs:
1953 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
1954 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
1955 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
1956 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
1957 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
1958 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
1961 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing

1972 647594 README link to mailing list is broken
1973 647602 Cannot connect to remote message bus via TCP
1974 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
1975 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
1976 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
1977 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

1980 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
1982 * Updated translations
1989 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
1990 ==============================================
1993 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
1994 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
1995 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
1998 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
1999 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
2000 situations has been improved
2003 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
2004 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
2007 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
2008 match strcmp() semantics
2009 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
2010 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
2011 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
2013 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
2014 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
2017 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
2019 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
2021 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
2022 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
2023 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

2357 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
2358 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
2360 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
2361 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
2362 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
2366 158725 free linked list with data

2392 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
2394 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
2396 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
2398 g_settings_get_range
2399 g_settings_range_check
2400 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
2402 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
2403 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
2405 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
2406 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
2408 g_main_context_invoke
2409 g_main_context_invoke_full
2411 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
2412 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
2413 looking for default applications.
2415 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2416 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2417 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2418 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2420 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2421 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2422 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

2677 =====================================================
2679 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2680 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
2681 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2683 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
2684 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
2685 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
2686 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
2689 There have been many other improvements, however:
2692 - vastly improved test coverage
2693 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
2694 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
2695 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

2743 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
2744 =====================================================
2746 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2747 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
2748 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
2749 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
2750 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
2751 | required (and will be along soon). |
2752 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2755 - cleanup automake setup
2756 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
2757 - various docs fixups
2758 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

2764 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
2765 - add g_settings_reset()
2766 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
2769 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
2770 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
2771 - proper support for file descriptor passing
2772 - new flags parameter for sending messages
2773 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
2774 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
2775 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
2776 - constness fixes for introspection structures
2777 - clean ups to subtree registration API
2780 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

2783 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
2784 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
2785 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
2788 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
2789 617483 Credentials passing

2812 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
2813 =====================================================
2815 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2816 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
2817 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
2818 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
2819 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2822 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
2823 -Bsymbolic-functions
2824 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
2825 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
2826 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
2827 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
2828 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2831 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
2832 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
2833 nobody was doing that.
2834 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
2836 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
2837 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
2839 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
2840 have a serial number
2841 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
2843 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
2845 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
2846 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
2847 has finished running on GDBus services.
2848 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
2849 this due to the obvious race)
2850 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
2851 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
2854 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
2855 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
2856 arguments and different behaviour
2857 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
2858 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
2859 strings instead of utf8 strings
2860 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
2861 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
2862 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
2863 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
2864 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
2865 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
2866 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
2867 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
2868 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
2871 - improved documentation
2872 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
2873 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
2874 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
2875 overridden using <override>.
2876 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
2878 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
2879 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
2880 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
2881 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
2882 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
2883 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
2884 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
2885 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
2886 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
2887 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
2888 being set due to a premature free
2889 - command line tool: bash completion support
2890 - chain up in _finalize
2891 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
2893 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
2894 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
2895 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
2897 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
2898 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
2899 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
2900 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
2901 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
2905 - always intern GBinding prop names
2906 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
2907 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
2908 - GNode docs improvements
2909 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
2910 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
2911 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
2915 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
2916 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
2917 - improved tests for GKeyfile
2918 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
2919 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
2920 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
2921 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
2922 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
2924 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
2925 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
2926 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2927 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
2928 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n

3618 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
3619 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
3620 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
3621 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
3622 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
3623 while loading or saving it.
3624 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
3625 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
3626 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
3629 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
3630 interfaces to dynamic types.
3633 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
3634 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
3635 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading
