252 ==============================================
255 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
256 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
257 to an overridden property
258 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
259 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
261 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
262 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

296 * Updated translations
306 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
307 ==============================================
309 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
310 moved to GtkApplication.
312 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
313 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
314 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
315 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
317 * lots of documentation improvements
319 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
321 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
322 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
324 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
326 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
328 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
330 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
331 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
334 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
335 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
336 664699 glib: documentation fixes
337 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
338 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
339 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
340 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
341 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
342 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
343 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
344 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
346 * Translations updated:
350 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
351 ==============================================
353 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
354 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
355 There have also been many related improvements to action group
358 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
359 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
360 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
363 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
364 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
365 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
366 through an idle on the context.
368 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
369 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
370 fixes here and there.
372 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
373 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
374 API available outside GLib
376 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

411 ==============================================
413 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
415 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
417 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
418 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
419 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
421 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
424 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
425 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
426 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
429 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
430 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
433 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
436 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
437 - various GIO file and stream fixes
438 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
440 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
441 =================================================
443 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
444 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
446 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
447 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
448 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
449 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
450 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
451 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
452 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
453 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
454 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
455 required (and has been deprecated)
456 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
457 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
458 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
459 without explicit initialisation.
460 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
461 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
462 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
464 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
465 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
466 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
467 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
468 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
469 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
470 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
472 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
473 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
474 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
475 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
476 - GThread is now a refcounted type
477 - other implementation details changed
479 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
480 deprecated/ directory.
482 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
483 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
484 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
486 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
487 platform over a year ago).
489 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
490 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
492 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
493 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
495 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
496 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
497 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
498 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
501 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
502 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
505 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
507 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
508 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
510 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
511 in a multi-threaded program
513 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
514 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
517 - drop -uninstalled variants
518 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
520 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
521 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
522 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
524 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
526 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
527 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
530 - many code generation updates and improvements
531 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
534 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
535 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
537 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
539 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
542 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
543 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
545 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
546 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
548 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
550 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
554 * Partial list of bugs closed:
555 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

981 ==============================================
983 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
984 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
985 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
986 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
987 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
988 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.

1048 * Updated translations:
1057 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
1058 ==============================================
1061 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
1062 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
1063 an 'object manager' pattern:
1064 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
1065 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
1066 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
1067 And server-side implementations:
1068 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
1069 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
1070 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
1074 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
1078 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
1079 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
1080 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
1081 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
1084 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
1085 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
1088 * Unix-specific APIs:
1089 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
1090 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
1091 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
1092 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
1093 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
1094 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

1118 * Updated translations
1125 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
1126 ==============================================
1129 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
1130 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
1131 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
1134 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
1135 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
1136 situations has been improved
1139 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
1140 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
1143 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
1144 match strcmp() semantics
1145 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
1146 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
1147 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
1149 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
1150 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
1153 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
1155 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
1157 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
1158 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
1159 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

1439 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
1440 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
1445 g_get_monotonic_time
1447 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
1450 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
1452 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
1454 g_simple_async_result_take_error

1490 - Support environment passing
1493 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
1494 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
1496 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
1497 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
1498 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
1502 158725 free linked list with data

1515 * Translation updates:
1521 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
1522 ==============================================
1524 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
1525 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
1527 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
1528 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
1530 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
1532 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
1534 g_settings_get_range
1535 g_settings_range_check
1536 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
1538 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
1539 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
1541 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
1542 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
1544 g_main_context_invoke
1545 g_main_context_invoke_full
1547 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
1548 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
1549 looking for default applications.
1551 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
1552 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
1553 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
1554 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
1556 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
1557 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
1558 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

1816 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
1817 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1819 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
1820 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was

1822 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
1825 There have been many other improvements, however:

1880 =====================================================
1882 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1883 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
1884 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
1885 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
1886 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
1887 | required (and will be along soon). |
1888 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1891 - cleanup automake setup
1892 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
1893 - various docs fixups
1894 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

1912 - constness fixes for introspection structures
1913 - clean ups to subtree registration API
1916 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

1948 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
1949 =====================================================
1951 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1952 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
1953 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
1954 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
1955 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1958 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
1959 -Bsymbolic-functions
1960 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
1961 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
1962 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
1963 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
1964 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
1967 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
1968 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
1969 nobody was doing that.
1970 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
1972 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
1973 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
1975 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
1976 have a serial number
1977 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
1979 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
1981 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
1982 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
1983 has finished running on GDBus services.
1984 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
1985 this due to the obvious race)
1986 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
1987 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
1990 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
1991 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
1992 arguments and different behaviour
1993 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
1994 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
1995 strings instead of utf8 strings
1996 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
1997 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
1998 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
1999 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
2000 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
2001 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
2002 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
2003 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
2004 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
2007 - improved documentation
2008 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
2009 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
2010 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
2011 overridden using <override>.
2012 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
2014 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
2015 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
2016 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
2017 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
2018 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
2019 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
2020 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
2021 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
2022 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
2023 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
2024 being set due to a premature free
2025 - command line tool: bash completion support
2026 - chain up in _finalize
2027 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
2029 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
2030 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
2031 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
2033 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
2034 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
2035 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
2036 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
2037 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
2041 - always intern GBinding prop names
2042 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
2043 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
2044 - GNode docs improvements
2045 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts

2052 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
2053 - improved tests for GKeyfile
2054 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
2055 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...

2058 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
2060 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
2061 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
2062 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2063 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
2064 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
2065 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
2066 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
2067 610784 array test failing

2761 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
2762 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
2765 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
2766 interfaces to dynamic types.

3493 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

3496 also uses less memory overall.

3501 that a GError is set or unset
3503 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
3505 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
3506 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
3508 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,

5164 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
5167 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
5168 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
5169 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
5173 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
5174 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
