106 ==============================================
108 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
109 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
110 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
111 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
112 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
113 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
115 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
116 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
118 * Access to quarks is now lockless
120 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
122 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

173 * Updated translations:
182 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
183 ==============================================
186 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
187 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
188 an 'object manager' pattern:
189 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
190 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
191 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
192 And server-side implementations:
193 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
194 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
195 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
199 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
203 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
204 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
205 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
206 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
209 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
210 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
213 * Unix-specific APIs:
214 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
215 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
216 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
217 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
218 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
219 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

237 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
238 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

240 648425 GDesktopAppInfo: Add "filename" property for bindings
241 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
243 * Updated translations
250 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
251 ==============================================
254 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
255 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
256 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
259 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
260 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
261 situations has been improved
264 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
265 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
268 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
269 match strcmp() semantics
270 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
271 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
272 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
274 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
275 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
278 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
280 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
282 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
283 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
284 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

640 * Translation updates:
646 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
647 ==============================================
649 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
650 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
652 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
653 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
655 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
657 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
660 g_settings_range_check
661 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
663 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
664 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
666 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
667 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
669 g_main_context_invoke
670 g_main_context_invoke_full
672 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
673 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
674 looking for default applications.
676 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
677 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
678 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
679 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
681 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
682 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
683 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
686 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe

940 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
941 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
942 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
944 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
945 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
946 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
947 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
950 There have been many other improvements, however:
953 - vastly improved test coverage
954 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
955 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
956 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

974 without mapping functions
975 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
978 - improve closure support for bindings
979 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
982 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility

1005 =====================================================
1007 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1008 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
1009 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
1010 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
1011 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
1012 | required (and will be along soon). |
1013 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1016 - cleanup automake setup
1017 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
1018 - various docs fixups

1025 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
1026 - add g_settings_reset()
1027 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
1030 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

1036 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
1037 - constness fixes for introspection structures
1038 - clean ups to subtree registration API
1041 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

1044 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
1045 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
1046 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
1049 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting

1074 =====================================================
1076 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1077 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
1078 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
1079 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
1080 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1083 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
1084 -Bsymbolic-functions
1085 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
1086 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
1087 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
1088 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
1089 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
1092 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
1093 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
1094 nobody was doing that.
1095 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
1097 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
1098 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
1100 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
1101 have a serial number
1102 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
1104 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
1106 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
1107 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
1108 has finished running on GDBus services.
1109 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
1110 this due to the obvious race)
1111 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
1112 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
1115 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
1116 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
1117 arguments and different behaviour
1118 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
1119 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
1120 strings instead of utf8 strings
1121 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
1122 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
1123 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
1124 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
1125 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
1126 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
1127 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
1128 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
1129 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
1132 - improved documentation
1133 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
1134 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
1135 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
1136 overridden using <override>.
1137 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
1139 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
1140 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
1141 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
1142 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
1143 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
1144 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
1145 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
1146 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
1147 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
1148 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
1149 being set due to a premature free
1150 - command line tool: bash completion support
1151 - chain up in _finalize
1152 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
1154 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
1155 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
1156 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
1158 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
1159 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
1160 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
1161 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
1162 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
1166 - always intern GBinding prop names
1167 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
1168 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
1169 - GNode docs improvements
1170 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
1171 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
1172 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
1176 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
1177 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
1178 - improved tests for GKeyfile
1179 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
1180 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
1181 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
1182 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
1183 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
1185 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
1186 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
1187 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
1188 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
1189 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
1190 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
1191 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

1876 ===================================================
1879 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
1880 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
1881 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
1882 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
1883 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
1884 while loading or saving it.
1885 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
1886 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
1887 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
1890 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
1891 interfaces to dynamic types.
1894 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
1895 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
1896 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

2614 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
2615 ===================================================
2617 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
2618 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
2619 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
2620 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
2621 also uses less memory overall.
2623 * Make g_poll available as public api
2625 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
2626 that a GError is set or unset
2628 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
2630 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
2631 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
2633 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
2634 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

4294 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
4298 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
4299 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
