33 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
34 ==================================
36 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
37 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
38 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
39 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
40 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
41 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
43 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
44 have seen major improvements.
46 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
47 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
48 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
51 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
53 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
55 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
57 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
58 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
59 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
60 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
61 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
62 you use the --strict option.
64 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
65 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
66 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
68 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
70 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
71 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
72 default handlers for a generic supertype.

117 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
118 ===================================
120 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
121 before the release of 2.44.0.
123 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
125 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
126 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
127 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
128 default in the next cycle.
130 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
132 * new GTask:completed property
134 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
135 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

149 Translations updated:
174 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
175 ===================================
177 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
178 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
179 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
181 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
182 effective busy state.
184 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.
187 661554 GIO's use of GError is wrong

231 ==================================
233 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
234 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
235 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
237 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
238 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.
240 * GListModel is a new interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.

624 assoications/defaults configuration to ~/.config/mimeapps.list).
626 * libgobject is now linked -Wl,-z,nodelete when possible to avoid errors
627 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself
628 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded
630 * ... and many other bug fixes.

718 =====================================================
720 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
721 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
722 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
723 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
724 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
725 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

980 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
981 ====================================================
983 * GSettings fixes/improvements
985 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
987 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
988 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
991 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
992 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
995 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
997 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
999 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
1002 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
1003 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
1005 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
1007 * Applications/Actions
1009 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
1010 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
1013 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
1014 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
1016 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
1017 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
1018 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
1019 not itself at fault for the errant call)
1023 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
1024 accesses that are performed in common situations
1026 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
1027 are installed/removed
1029 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
1030 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
1032 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
1033 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
1038 - ignore qualified tags, as above
1040 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
1041 that test programs don't pick them up
1043 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
1045 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
1046 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
1047 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
1048 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
1050 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
1051 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
1053 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
1054 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
1055 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
1059 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
1061 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
1063 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

1115 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
1116 ====================================================
1118 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
1122 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
1124 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
1125 them can restart the application with an action (via
1130 - new API for launching subprocesses
1132 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
1134 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
1136 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
1137 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
1139 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
1141 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
1143 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
1144 actions and listing apps and actions
1146 - bash tab completion is supported
1148 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
1150 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
1151 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
1153 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
1154 DBusActivatable=true
1156 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
1157 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
1162 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
1164 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
1165 class and inotify backend
1167 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
1168 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
1170 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
1175 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
1176 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
1177 when there are invalid schemas installed
1179 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
1183 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
1184 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
1186 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
1189 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
1190 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
1191 semantics of the interface in each case
1193 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
1194 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
1196 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
1198 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
1199 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
1200 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
1201 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
1205 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
1208 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
1210 * Portability improvements
1212 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
1214 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
1215 actually support it (like Hurd)
1217 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
1219 * Other small API changes/additions
1221 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
1222 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
1223 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
1225 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
1227 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
1228 G_LOG_ERROR messages
1230 * GMainContext/GSource
1232 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
1234 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
1235 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
1236 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
1237 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
1238 broken and should probably be fixed.
1240 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
1241 require use of a linked list
1245 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
1246 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
1247 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
1249 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
1253 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
1254 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
1255 gphoto, archive, at least).
1257 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
1259 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
1262 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
1263 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
1264 (which shared exactly the same bug)
1266 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
1268 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
1270 * Many documentation improvements

1328 What's new in Glib 2.38
1329 ========================
1331 * Application support
1333 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
1334 desktop entry specification
1336 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
1337 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
1338 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
1340 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
1341 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
1342 to launch other applications
1344 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
1345 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
1349 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
1350 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
1351 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
1352 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
1353 any problems that this may have caused.
1355 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
1356 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
1357 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
1358 (allowing memory savings)
1360 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
1361 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
1362 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
1364 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
1365 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
1368 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
1369 without destroying one of the objects involved
1373 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
1374 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
1375 with a finite number of cases
1377 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
1378 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
1380 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
1381 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
1382 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
1383 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
1386 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
1390 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
1391 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
1392 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
1394 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
1396 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
1397 and an API to check them
1399 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
1400 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
1402 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
1403 with most functions, but this is not recommended
1407 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
1408 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
1409 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
1412 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
1413 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
1414 particular directory (akin to 'du').
1416 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
1421 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
1422 allow for regexp matching on streams
1424 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
1425 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
1426 g_variant_new_printf()
1430 - we can now generate TAP output
1432 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
1433 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
1435 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
1440 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

1566 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
1567 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
1568 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
1570 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
1571 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when

1659 ==============================================
1661 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
1662 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
1664 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
1665 and will trigger a warning.
1668 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

1750 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
1751 ==============================================
1753 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
1754 and a parser API for them is now provided
1756 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
1757 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
1758 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

1818 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
1819 ==============================================
1821 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
1823 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
1824 the destination file
1826 - fix some 'available since' annotations
1828 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

1834 * Translations updated:
1850 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
1851 ==============================================
1853 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
1854 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
1855 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
1856 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

1910 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
1911 ==============================================
1913 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
1914 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
1915 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
1916 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
1917 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
1921 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
1922 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
1924 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
1925 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
1926 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class

1945 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
1946 ==============================================
1948 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
1950 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
1951 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
1953 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
1954 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
1956 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
1969 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
1970 ==============================================
1972 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
1975 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
1976 ready at a specified monotonic time
1978 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
1980 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

2082 * Translation updates:
2097 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
2098 ==============================================
2100 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
2101 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
2102 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
2103 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
2104 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
2106 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
2107 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
2108 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
2109 particular, are incompatible.
2111 * Bugs fixed in this release:

2145 * Translation updates:
2156 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
2157 ==============================================
2159 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
2160 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
2161 causing regressions in applications.
2163 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
2164 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
2165 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
2168 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
2169 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
2170 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
2172 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
2174 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
2176 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
2178 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
2180 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
2182 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
2184 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
2186 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
2188 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
2190 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

2240 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
2241 ==============================================
2243 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
2244 give feedback if they cause trouble:
2246 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
2247 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
2249 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
2251 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
2253 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
2255 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
2257 * GLib version macros updated
2259 * Update to Unicode 6.2
2261 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts

3083 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.6 to 2.31.8
3084 ==============================================
3087 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
3088 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
3089 to an overridden property
3090 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
3091 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
3093 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
3094 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
3096 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status
3098 * GSettings: a native OS X backend has been added, under the

3138 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
3139 ==============================================
3141 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
3142 moved to GtkApplication.
3144 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
3145 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
3146 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
3147 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
3149 * lots of documentation improvements
3151 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
3153 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
3154 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
3156 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
3158 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
3160 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
3162 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
3163 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
3166 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
3167 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
3168 664699 glib: documentation fixes
3169 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
3170 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
3171 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
3172 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
3173 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
3174 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
3175 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
3176 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
3178 * Translations updated:
3182 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
3183 ==============================================
3185 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
3186 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
3187 There have also been many related improvements to action group
3190 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
3191 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
3192 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
3195 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
3196 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
3197 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
3198 through an idle on the context.
3200 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
3201 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
3202 fixes here and there.
3204 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
3205 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
3206 API available outside GLib
3208 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

3247 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
3249 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
3250 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
3251 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
3253 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
3256 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
3257 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
3258 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
3261 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
3262 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
3265 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
3268 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
3269 - various GIO file and stream fixes
3270 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
3272 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
3273 =================================================
3275 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
3276 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
3278 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
3279 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
3280 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
3281 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
3282 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
3283 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
3284 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
3285 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
3286 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
3287 required (and has been deprecated)
3288 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
3289 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
3290 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
3291 without explicit initialisation.
3292 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
3293 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
3294 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
3296 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
3297 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
3298 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
3299 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
3300 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
3301 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
3302 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
3304 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
3305 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
3306 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
3307 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
3308 - GThread is now a refcounted type
3309 - other implementation details changed
3311 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
3312 deprecated/ directory.
3314 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
3315 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
3316 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
3318 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
3319 platform over a year ago).
3321 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
3322 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
3324 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
3325 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
3327 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
3328 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
3329 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
3330 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
3333 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
3334 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
3337 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
3339 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
3340 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
3342 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
3343 in a multi-threaded program
3345 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
3346 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
3349 - drop -uninstalled variants
3350 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
3352 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
3353 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
3354 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
3356 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
3358 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
3359 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
3362 - many code generation updates and improvements
3363 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
3366 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
3367 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
3369 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
3371 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
3374 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
3375 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
3377 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
3378 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
3380 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
3382 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
3386 * Partial list of bugs closed:
3387 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

3813 ==============================================
3815 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
3816 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
3817 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
3818 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
3819 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
3820 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
3822 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
3823 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
3825 * Access to quarks is now lockless
3827 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
3829 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

3880 * Updated translations:
3889 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
3890 ==============================================
3893 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
3894 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
3895 an 'object manager' pattern:
3896 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
3897 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
3898 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
3899 And server-side implementations:
3900 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
3901 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
3902 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
3906 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
3910 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
3911 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
3912 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
3913 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
3916 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
3917 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
3920 * Unix-specific APIs:
3921 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
3922 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
3923 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
3924 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
3925 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
3926 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

3950 * Updated translations
3957 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
3958 ==============================================
3961 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
3962 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
3963 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
3966 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
3967 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
3968 situations has been improved
3971 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
3972 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
3975 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
3976 match strcmp() semantics
3977 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
3978 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
3979 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
3981 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
3982 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
3985 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
3987 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
3989 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
3990 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
3991 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

4268 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
4269 ==============================================
4271 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
4272 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
4277 g_get_monotonic_time
4279 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
4282 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
4284 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
4286 g_simple_async_result_take_error
4287 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
4288 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
4290 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
4293 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
4294 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
4295 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
4297 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
4298 g_get_user_runtime_dir
4300 * Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed

4309 * Translation updates:
4317 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
4318 ==============================================
4321 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
4322 - Support environment passing
4325 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
4326 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
4328 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
4329 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
4330 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
4334 158725 free linked list with data
4335 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
4336 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError

4344 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
4345 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
4347 * Translation updates:
4353 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
4354 ==============================================
4356 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
4357 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
4359 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
4360 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
4362 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
4364 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
4366 g_settings_get_range
4367 g_settings_range_check
4368 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
4370 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
4371 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
4373 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
4374 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
4376 g_main_context_invoke
4377 g_main_context_invoke_full
4379 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
4380 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
4381 looking for default applications.
4383 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
4384 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
4385 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
4386 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
4388 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
4389 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
4390 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
4393 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe

4648 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
4649 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4651 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
4652 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
4653 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
4654 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
4657 There have been many other improvements, however:
4660 - vastly improved test coverage
4661 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
4662 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
4663 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
4666 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

4681 without mapping functions
4682 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
4685 - improve closure support for bindings
4686 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag

4712 =====================================================
4714 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4715 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
4716 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
4717 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
4718 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
4719 | required (and will be along soon). |
4720 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4723 - cleanup automake setup
4724 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
4725 - various docs fixups
4726 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

4739 - proper support for file descriptor passing
4740 - new flags parameter for sending messages
4741 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
4742 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
4743 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
4744 - constness fixes for introspection structures
4745 - clean ups to subtree registration API
4748 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

4751 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
4752 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
4753 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
4756 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting

4780 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
4781 =====================================================
4783 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4784 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
4785 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
4786 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
4787 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4790 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
4791 -Bsymbolic-functions
4792 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
4793 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
4794 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
4795 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
4796 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4799 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
4800 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
4801 nobody was doing that.
4802 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
4804 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
4805 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
4807 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
4808 have a serial number
4809 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
4811 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
4813 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
4814 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
4815 has finished running on GDBus services.
4816 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
4817 this due to the obvious race)
4818 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
4819 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
4822 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
4823 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
4824 arguments and different behaviour
4825 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
4826 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
4827 strings instead of utf8 strings
4828 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
4829 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
4830 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
4831 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
4832 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
4833 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
4834 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
4835 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
4836 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser

5489 ===================================================
5491 * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
5493 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
5495 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
5496 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
5497 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
5499 * Threading changes:
5500 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
5501 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
5503 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
5504 when g_type_init() is called.
5505 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
5508 - Another bunch of performance work has landed
5511 - GVariantType has been merged, with the rest of the GVariant

5583 ===================================================
5586 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
5587 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
5588 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
5589 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
5590 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
5591 while loading or saving it.
5592 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
5593 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
5594 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
5597 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
5598 interfaces to dynamic types.
5601 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
5602 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

6322 ===================================================
6324 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
6325 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
6326 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
6327 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
6328 also uses less memory overall.
6330 * Make g_poll available as public api
6332 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
6333 that a GError is set or unset
6335 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
6337 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
6338 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
6340 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
6341 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

7954 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
7955 =================================================
7957 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
7958 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
7959 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
7961 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
7962 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
7965 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
7966 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
7967 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
7969 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
7971 * Memory management:
7972 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
7973 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
7974 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
7975 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
7976 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
7977 never worked as intended.
7978 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
7979 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
7980 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
7981 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
7982 efficient and scalable implementation.
7983 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
7986 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
7987 unnecessary recursion.
7990 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
7991 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
7992 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
7996 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
7999 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
8000 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
