1 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
2 ==============================================
4 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
5 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
6 causing regressions in applications.
8 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
9 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
10 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
13 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
14 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
15 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
17 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
19 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
21 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
23 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
25 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
27 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
29 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
31 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
33 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
35 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

929 ==============================================
932 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
933 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
934 to an overridden property
935 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
936 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
938 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
939 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

973 * Updated translations
983 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
984 ==============================================
986 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
987 moved to GtkApplication.
989 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
990 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
991 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
992 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
994 * lots of documentation improvements
996 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
998 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
999 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
1001 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
1003 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
1005 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
1007 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
1008 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
1011 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
1012 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
1013 664699 glib: documentation fixes

1015 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
1016 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
1017 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
1018 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
1019 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
1020 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
1021 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
1023 * Translations updated:
1027 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
1028 ==============================================
1030 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
1031 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
1032 There have also been many related improvements to action group
1035 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
1036 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
1037 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
1040 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
1041 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
1042 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
1043 through an idle on the context.
1045 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
1046 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
1047 fixes here and there.
1049 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
1050 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
1051 API available outside GLib
1053 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

1095 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
1096 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
1098 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

1117 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
1118 =================================================
1120 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
1121 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
1123 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
1124 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
1125 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
1126 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
1127 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
1128 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
1129 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
1130 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
1131 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
1132 required (and has been deprecated)
1133 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
1134 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
1135 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
1136 without explicit initialisation.
1137 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
1138 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
1139 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
1141 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
1142 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
1143 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
1144 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
1145 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
1146 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
1147 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1149 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1150 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1151 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1152 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1153 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1154 - other implementation details changed
1156 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1157 deprecated/ directory.
1159 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1160 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1161 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1163 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1164 platform over a year ago).
1166 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1167 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1169 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1170 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
1172 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
1173 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
1174 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
1175 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
1178 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
1179 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
1182 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
1184 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
1185 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
1187 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
1188 in a multi-threaded program
1190 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
1191 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
1194 - drop -uninstalled variants
1195 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
1197 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
1198 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
1199 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
1201 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
1203 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
1204 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
1207 - many code generation updates and improvements
1208 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
1211 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
1212 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
1214 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
1216 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
1219 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
1220 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
1222 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
1223 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
1225 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
1227 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
1231 * Partial list of bugs closed:
1232 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

1658 ==============================================
1660 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
1661 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
1662 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
1663 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
1664 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
1665 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
1667 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
1668 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

1734 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
1735 ==============================================
1738 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
1739 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
1740 an 'object manager' pattern:
1741 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
1742 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
1743 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
1744 And server-side implementations:
1745 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
1746 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
1747 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
1751 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
1755 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
1756 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
1757 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
1758 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
1761 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
1762 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
1765 * Unix-specific APIs:
1766 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
1767 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
1768 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
1769 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
1770 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
1771 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

1821 match strcmp() semantics
1822 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
1823 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
1824 called to update the cached information about the local timezone

2114 ==============================================
2116 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
2117 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
2122 g_get_monotonic_time
2124 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
2127 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
2129 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
2131 g_simple_async_result_take_error
2132 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
2133 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
2135 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:

2166 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
2167 - Support environment passing
2170 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
2171 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
2173 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
2174 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
2175 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
2179 158725 free linked list with data

2190 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
2192 * Translation updates:
2198 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
2199 ==============================================
2201 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
2202 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
2204 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
2205 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
2207 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
2209 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
2211 g_settings_get_range
2212 g_settings_range_check
2213 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
2215 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
2216 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
2218 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
2219 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
2221 g_main_context_invoke
2222 g_main_context_invoke_full
2224 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
2225 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
2226 looking for default applications.
2228 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2229 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2230 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2231 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2233 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2234 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2235 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

2492 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2493 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
2494 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2496 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
2497 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
2498 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
2499 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
2502 There have been many other improvements, however:
2505 - vastly improved test coverage
2506 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
2507 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
2508 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

2557 =====================================================
2559 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2560 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
2561 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
2562 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
2563 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
2564 | required (and will be along soon). |
2565 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2568 - cleanup automake setup
2569 - rename configure.in to configure.ac

2625 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
2626 =====================================================
2628 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2629 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
2630 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
2631 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
2632 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2635 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
2636 -Bsymbolic-functions
2637 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
2638 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
2639 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
2640 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
2641 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2644 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
2645 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
2646 nobody was doing that.
2647 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
2649 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
2650 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
2652 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
2653 have a serial number
2654 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
2656 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
2658 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
2659 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
2660 has finished running on GDBus services.
2661 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
2662 this due to the obvious race)
2663 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
2664 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
2667 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
2668 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
2669 arguments and different behaviour
2670 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
2671 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
2672 strings instead of utf8 strings
2673 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
2674 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
2675 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
2676 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
2677 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
2678 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
2679 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
2680 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
2681 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
2684 - improved documentation
2685 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
2686 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
2687 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
2688 overridden using <override>.
2689 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
2691 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
2692 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
2693 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
2694 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
2695 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
2696 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
2697 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
2698 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
2699 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
2700 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
2701 being set due to a premature free
2702 - command line tool: bash completion support
2703 - chain up in _finalize
2704 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
2706 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
2707 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
2708 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
2710 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
2711 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
2712 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
2713 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
2714 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
2718 - always intern GBinding prop names
2719 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
2720 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
2721 - GNode docs improvements
2722 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
2723 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation

2728 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
2729 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
2730 - improved tests for GKeyfile
2731 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
2732 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
2733 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
2734 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
2735 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
2737 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
2738 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
2739 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2740 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
2741 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
2742 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
2743 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
2744 610784 array test failing

3438 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
3439 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
3442 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
3443 interfaces to dynamic types.
