1 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
2 =====================================================
4 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
6 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
7 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
8 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
9 | required (and will be along soon). |
10 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

70 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
71 =====================================================
73 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
74 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
75 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
76 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
77 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
80 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
82 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
83 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
84 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
85 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
86 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
89 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
90 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
91 nobody was doing that.
92 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
94 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
95 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
97 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
99 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
101 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
103 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
104 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
105 has finished running on GDBus services.
106 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
107 this due to the obvious race)
108 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
109 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
112 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
113 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
114 arguments and different behaviour
115 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
116 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
117 strings instead of utf8 strings
118 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
119 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
120 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
121 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
122 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
123 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
124 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
125 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
126 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
129 - improved documentation
130 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
131 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
132 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
133 overridden using <override>.
134 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
136 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
137 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
138 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
139 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
140 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
141 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
142 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
143 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
144 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
145 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
146 being set due to a premature free
147 - command line tool: bash completion support
148 - chain up in _finalize
149 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
151 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
152 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
153 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
155 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
156 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
157 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
158 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
159 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
163 - always intern GBinding prop names
164 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
165 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
166 - GNode docs improvements
167 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
168 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
169 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
173 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
174 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
175 - improved tests for GKeyfile
176 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
177 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
178 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
179 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
180 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
182 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
183 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
184 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
185 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
186 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
187 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
188 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
189 610784 array test failing
190 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
191 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

876 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
877 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
878 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
879 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
880 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
881 while loading or saving it.
882 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
883 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
884 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
887 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
888 interfaces to dynamic types.

1618 also uses less memory overall.

1627 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
1628 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
1630 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
1631 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

3247 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
3248 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
3249 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
3251 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
3252 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
3255 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:

3269 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
3270 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
3271 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
3272 efficient and scalable implementation.
3273 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
3276 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
3277 unnecessary recursion.

3289 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
3290 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
3291 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
3295 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
3296 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
