16 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
19 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
20 match strcmp() semantics
21 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
22 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
23 called to update the cached information about the local timezone

344 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
348 158725 free linked list with data

368 ==============================================
370 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
371 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
373 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
374 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
376 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
378 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
381 g_settings_range_check
382 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
384 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
385 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
387 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
388 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
390 g_main_context_invoke
391 g_main_context_invoke_full
393 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
394 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
395 looking for default applications.
397 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
398 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
399 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
400 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
402 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
403 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
404 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

661 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
662 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
663 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
665 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
666 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
667 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
668 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
671 There have been many other improvements, however:
674 - vastly improved test coverage
675 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
676 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
677 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
680 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
683 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
684 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
685 - improve debug output, add some extra options
686 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
688 - sort property names correctly
689 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
691 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing

726 =====================================================
728 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
729 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
730 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
731 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
732 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
733 | required (and will be along soon). |
734 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
737 - cleanup automake setup
738 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
739 - various docs fixups
740 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

758 - constness fixes for introspection structures
759 - clean ups to subtree registration API
762 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

794 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
795 =====================================================
797 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
798 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
799 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
800 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
801 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
804 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
806 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
807 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
808 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
809 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
810 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
813 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
814 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
815 nobody was doing that.
816 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
818 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
819 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
821 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
823 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
825 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
827 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
828 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
829 has finished running on GDBus services.
830 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
831 this due to the obvious race)
832 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
833 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
836 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
837 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
838 arguments and different behaviour
839 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
840 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
841 strings instead of utf8 strings
842 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
843 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
844 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
845 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
846 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
847 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
848 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
849 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
850 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
853 - improved documentation
854 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
855 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
856 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
857 overridden using <override>.
858 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
860 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
861 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
862 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
863 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
864 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
865 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
866 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
867 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
868 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
869 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
870 being set due to a premature free
871 - command line tool: bash completion support
872 - chain up in _finalize
873 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
875 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
876 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
877 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
879 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
880 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
881 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
882 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
883 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
887 - always intern GBinding prop names
888 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
889 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
890 - GNode docs improvements
891 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
892 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
893 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
897 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
898 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
899 - improved tests for GKeyfile
900 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
901 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
902 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
903 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
904 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
906 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
907 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
908 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
909 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
910 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
911 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
912 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
913 610784 array test failing
914 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
915 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

1607 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
1608 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
1611 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
1612 interfaces to dynamic types.

2339 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

2347 that a GError is set or unset
2349 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
2351 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
2352 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
2354 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
2355 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
