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

31 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
33 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
34 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,

372 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
376 158725 free linked list with data

402 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
404 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
406 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
409 g_settings_range_check
410 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
412 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
413 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
415 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
416 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
418 g_main_context_invoke
419 g_main_context_invoke_full
421 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
422 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
423 looking for default applications.
425 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
426 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
427 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
428 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
430 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
431 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
432 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

695 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
696 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
699 There have been many other improvements, however:
702 - vastly improved test coverage
703 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
704 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
705 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
708 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
711 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
712 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
713 - improve debug output, add some extra options
714 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
716 - sort property names correctly
717 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
719 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
722 - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
723 without mapping functions
724 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
727 - improve closure support for bindings
728 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
731 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility

756 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
757 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
758 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
759 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
760 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |

822 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
823 =====================================================
825 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
826 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
827 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
828 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
829 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
832 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
834 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
835 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
836 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
837 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
838 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
841 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
842 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
843 nobody was doing that.
844 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
846 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
847 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
849 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
851 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
853 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
855 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
856 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
857 has finished running on GDBus services.
858 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
859 this due to the obvious race)
860 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
861 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
864 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
865 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
866 arguments and different behaviour
867 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
868 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
869 strings instead of utf8 strings
870 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
871 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
872 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
873 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
874 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
875 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
876 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
877 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
878 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
881 - improved documentation
882 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
883 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
884 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
885 overridden using <override>.
886 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
888 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
889 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
890 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
891 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
892 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
893 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
894 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
895 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
896 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
897 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
898 being set due to a premature free
899 - command line tool: bash completion support
900 - chain up in _finalize
901 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
903 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
904 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
905 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
907 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
908 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
909 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
910 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
911 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
915 - always intern GBinding prop names
916 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
917 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
918 - GNode docs improvements
919 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
920 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
921 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
925 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check

929 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
930 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
931 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
932 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
934 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
935 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
936 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
937 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
938 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
939 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
940 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
941 610784 array test failing
942 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation

1635 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
1636 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
1639 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
1640 interfaces to dynamic types.

2367 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

2370 also uses less memory overall.

2379 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
2380 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
2382 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,

3999 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
4000 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
4001 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
4003 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
4004 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
4007 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:

4021 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
4022 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
4023 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
4024 efficient and scalable implementation.
4025 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
4028 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
4029 unnecessary recursion.

4034 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
4038 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
4041 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
4042 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
4043 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
4047 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
4048 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
4049 since they are in glib.h
