299 ==============================================
302 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
303 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
304 to an overridden property
305 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
306 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
308 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
309 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
311 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status
313 * GSettings: a native OS X backend has been added, under the

343 * Updated translations
353 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
354 ==============================================
356 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
357 moved to GtkApplication.
359 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
360 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
361 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
362 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
364 * lots of documentation improvements
366 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
368 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
369 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
371 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
373 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
375 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
377 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
378 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
381 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
382 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
383 664699 glib: documentation fixes
384 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
385 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
386 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
387 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
388 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
389 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
390 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
391 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
393 * Translations updated:
397 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
398 ==============================================
400 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
401 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
402 There have also been many related improvements to action group
405 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
406 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
407 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
410 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
411 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
412 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
413 through an idle on the context.
415 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
416 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
417 fixes here and there.
419 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
420 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
421 API available outside GLib
423 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

458 ==============================================
460 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
462 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
464 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
465 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
466 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
468 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
471 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
472 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
473 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
476 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
477 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
480 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
483 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
484 - various GIO file and stream fixes
485 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
487 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
488 =================================================
490 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
491 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
493 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
494 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
495 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
496 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
497 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
498 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
499 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
500 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
501 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
502 required (and has been deprecated)
503 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
504 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
505 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
506 without explicit initialisation.
507 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
508 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
509 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
511 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
512 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
513 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
514 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
515 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
516 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
517 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
519 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
520 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
521 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
522 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
523 - GThread is now a refcounted type
524 - other implementation details changed
526 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
527 deprecated/ directory.
529 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
530 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
531 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
533 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
534 platform over a year ago).
536 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
537 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
539 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
540 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
542 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
543 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
544 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
545 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
548 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
549 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
552 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
554 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
555 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
557 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
558 in a multi-threaded program
560 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
561 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
564 - drop -uninstalled variants
565 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
567 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
568 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
569 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
571 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
573 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
574 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
577 - many code generation updates and improvements
578 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
581 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
582 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
584 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
586 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
589 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
590 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
592 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
593 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
595 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
597 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
601 * Partial list of bugs closed:
602 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

1028 ==============================================
1030 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
1031 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
1032 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
1033 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
1034 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
1035 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
1037 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
1038 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

1104 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
1105 ==============================================
1108 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
1109 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
1110 an 'object manager' pattern:
1111 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
1112 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
1113 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
1114 And server-side implementations:
1115 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
1116 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
1117 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
1121 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
1125 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
1126 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
1127 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
1128 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
1131 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
1132 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
1135 * Unix-specific APIs:
1136 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
1137 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
1138 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
1139 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
1140 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
1141 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

1172 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
1173 ==============================================
1176 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
1177 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
1178 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
1181 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
1182 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
1183 situations has been improved
1186 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
1187 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
1190 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
1191 match strcmp() semantics
1192 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
1193 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
1194 called to update the cached information about the local timezone

1484 ==============================================
1486 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
1487 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
1492 g_get_monotonic_time
1494 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
1497 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
1499 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
1501 g_simple_async_result_take_error
1502 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
1503 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
1505 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:

1536 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
1537 - Support environment passing
1540 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
1541 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
1543 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
1544 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
1545 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
1549 158725 free linked list with data

1562 * Translation updates:
1568 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
1569 ==============================================
1571 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
1572 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
1574 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
1575 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
1577 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
1579 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
1581 g_settings_get_range
1582 g_settings_range_check
1583 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
1585 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
1586 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
1588 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
1589 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
1591 g_main_context_invoke
1592 g_main_context_invoke_full
1594 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
1595 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
1596 looking for default applications.
1598 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
1599 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
1600 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
1601 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
1603 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
1604 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
1605 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

1862 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1863 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
1864 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1866 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
1867 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
1868 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
1869 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
1872 There have been many other improvements, however:
1875 - vastly improved test coverage
1876 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
1877 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
1878 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

1927 =====================================================
1929 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1930 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
1931 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
1932 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
1933 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
1934 | required (and will be along soon). |
1935 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1938 - cleanup automake setup
1939 - rename configure.in to configure.ac

1995 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
1996 =====================================================
1998 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1999 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
2000 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
2001 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
2002 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2005 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
2006 -Bsymbolic-functions
2007 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
2008 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
2009 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
2010 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
2011 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2014 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
2015 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
2016 nobody was doing that.
2017 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
2019 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
2020 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
2022 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
2023 have a serial number
2024 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
2026 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
2028 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
2029 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
2030 has finished running on GDBus services.
2031 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
2032 this due to the obvious race)
2033 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
2034 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
2037 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
2038 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
2039 arguments and different behaviour
2040 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
2041 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
2042 strings instead of utf8 strings
2043 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
2044 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
2045 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
2046 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
2047 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
2048 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
2049 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
2050 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
2051 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
2054 - improved documentation
2055 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
2056 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
2057 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
2058 overridden using <override>.
2059 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
2061 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
2062 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
2063 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
2064 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
2065 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
2066 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
2067 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
2068 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
2069 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
2070 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
2071 being set due to a premature free
2072 - command line tool: bash completion support
2073 - chain up in _finalize
2074 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
2076 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
2077 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
2078 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
2080 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
2081 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
2082 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
2083 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
2084 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
2088 - always intern GBinding prop names
2089 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
2090 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
2091 - GNode docs improvements
2092 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts

2100 - improved tests for GKeyfile
2101 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
2102 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
2103 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)

2105 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
2107 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
2108 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
2109 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2110 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
2111 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
2112 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
2113 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

2808 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
2809 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
2812 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
2813 interfaces to dynamic types.
