527 * Translation updates:
532 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.6 to 2.31.8
533 ==============================================
536 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
537 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
538 to an overridden property
539 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
540 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
542 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
543 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
545 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

577 * Updated translations
587 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
588 ==============================================
590 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
591 moved to GtkApplication.
593 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
594 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
595 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
596 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
598 * lots of documentation improvements
600 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
602 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
603 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
605 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
607 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
609 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
611 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
612 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
615 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
616 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

620 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
621 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
622 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
623 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
624 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
625 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
627 * Translations updated:
631 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
632 ==============================================
634 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
635 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
636 There have also been many related improvements to action group
639 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
640 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
641 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
644 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
645 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
646 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
647 through an idle on the context.
649 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
650 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
651 fixes here and there.
653 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
654 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
655 API available outside GLib
657 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

686 * Translation updates:
691 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.0 to 2.31.2
692 ==============================================
694 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
696 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
698 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
699 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
700 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
702 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
705 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
706 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
707 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
710 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
711 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
714 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
717 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
718 - various GIO file and stream fixes
719 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
721 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
722 =================================================
724 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
725 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
727 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
728 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
729 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
730 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
731 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
732 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
733 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
734 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
735 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
736 required (and has been deprecated)
737 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
738 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
739 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
740 without explicit initialisation.
741 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
742 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
743 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
745 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
746 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
747 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
748 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
749 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
750 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
751 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
753 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
754 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
755 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
756 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
757 - GThread is now a refcounted type
758 - other implementation details changed
760 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
761 deprecated/ directory.
763 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
764 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
765 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
767 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
768 platform over a year ago).
770 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
771 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
773 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
774 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
776 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
777 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
778 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
779 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
782 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
783 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
786 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
788 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
789 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
791 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
792 in a multi-threaded program
794 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
795 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
798 - drop -uninstalled variants
799 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
801 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
802 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
803 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
805 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
807 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
808 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
811 - many code generation updates and improvements
812 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
815 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
816 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
818 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
820 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
823 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
824 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
826 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
827 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
829 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
831 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
835 * Partial list of bugs closed:
836 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

1261 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
1262 ==============================================
1264 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
1265 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
1266 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
1267 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
1268 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
1269 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
1271 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
1272 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
1274 * Access to quarks is now lockless
1276 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
1278 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
1280 * Introspection improvements:

1329 * Updated translations:
1338 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
1339 ==============================================
1342 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
1343 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
1344 an 'object manager' pattern:
1345 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
1346 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
1347 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
1348 And server-side implementations:
1349 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
1350 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
1351 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
1355 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
1359 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
1360 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
1361 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
1362 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
1365 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
1366 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
1369 * Unix-specific APIs:
1370 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
1371 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
1372 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
1373 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
1374 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
1375 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
1378 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing

1392 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
1393 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
1394 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

1397 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
1399 * Updated translations
1406 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
1407 ==============================================
1410 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
1411 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
1412 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
1415 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
1416 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
1417 situations has been improved
1420 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
1421 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
1424 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
1425 match strcmp() semantics
1426 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
1427 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
1428 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
1430 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
1431 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
1434 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
1436 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
1438 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
1439 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
1440 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

1820 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
1822 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
1823 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
1825 g_main_context_invoke
1826 g_main_context_invoke_full
1828 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
1829 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
1830 looking for default applications.
1832 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
1833 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
1834 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
1835 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
1837 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
1838 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
1839 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

2093 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.12 to GLib 2.25.13
2094 =====================================================
2096 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2097 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
2098 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2100 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
2101 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
2102 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
2103 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
2106 There have been many other improvements, however:
2109 - vastly improved test coverage
2110 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
2111 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
2112 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
2115 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
2118 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
2119 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage

2121 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
2123 - sort property names correctly
2124 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
2126 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing

2130 without mapping functions
2131 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
2134 - improve closure support for bindings
2135 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag

2160 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
2161 =====================================================
2163 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2164 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
2165 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
2166 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
2167 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
2168 | required (and will be along soon). |
2169 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2172 - cleanup automake setup
2173 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
2174 - various docs fixups
2175 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

2181 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
2182 - add g_settings_reset()
2183 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
2186 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
2187 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
2188 - proper support for file descriptor passing
2189 - new flags parameter for sending messages
2190 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
2191 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
2192 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
2193 - constness fixes for introspection structures
2194 - clean ups to subtree registration API
2197 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

2200 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
2201 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
2202 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
2205 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
2206 617483 Credentials passing
2207 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property

2229 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
2230 =====================================================
2232 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2233 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
2234 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
2235 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
2236 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2239 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
2240 -Bsymbolic-functions
2241 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
2242 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
2243 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
2244 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
2245 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2248 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
2249 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
2250 nobody was doing that.
2251 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
2253 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
2254 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
2256 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
2257 have a serial number
2258 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
2260 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
2262 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
2263 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
2264 has finished running on GDBus services.
2265 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
2266 this due to the obvious race)
2267 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
2268 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
2271 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
2272 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
2273 arguments and different behaviour
2274 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
2275 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
2276 strings instead of utf8 strings
2277 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
2278 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
2279 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
2280 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
2281 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
2282 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
2283 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
2284 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
2285 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
2288 - improved documentation
2289 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
2290 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
2291 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
2292 overridden using <override>.
2293 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
2295 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
2296 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
2297 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
2298 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
2299 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
2300 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
2301 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
2302 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
2303 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
2304 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
2305 being set due to a premature free
2306 - command line tool: bash completion support
2307 - chain up in _finalize
2308 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
2310 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
2311 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
2312 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
2314 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
2315 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
2316 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
2317 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
2318 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
2322 - always intern GBinding prop names
2323 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
2324 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
2325 - GNode docs improvements
2326 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
2327 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
2328 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
2332 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
2333 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
2334 - improved tests for GKeyfile
2335 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
2336 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
2337 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
2338 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
2339 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
2341 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
2342 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
2343 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2344 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
2345 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
2346 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
2347 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

3032 ===================================================
3035 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
3036 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
3037 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
3038 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
3039 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
3040 while loading or saving it.
3041 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
3042 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
3043 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
3046 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
3047 interfaces to dynamic types.
3050 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
3051 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
3052 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading
