1 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
2 ==============================================
4 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
5 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
8 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
9 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
10 API available outside GLib

47 ==============================================
49 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
51 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
53 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
54 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
55 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
57 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
60 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
61 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
62 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
65 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
66 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
69 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
72 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
73 - various GIO file and stream fixes
74 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
76 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
77 =================================================
79 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
80 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
82 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
83 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
84 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
85 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
86 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
87 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
88 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
89 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
90 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
91 required (and has been deprecated)
92 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
93 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
94 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
95 without explicit initialisation.
96 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
97 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
98 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
100 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
101 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
102 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
103 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
104 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
105 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
106 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
108 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
109 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
110 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
111 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
112 - GThread is now a refcounted type
113 - other implementation details changed
115 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
116 deprecated/ directory.
118 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
119 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
120 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
122 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
123 platform over a year ago).
125 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
126 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
128 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
129 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
131 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
132 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
133 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
134 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
137 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
138 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
141 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
143 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
144 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
146 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
147 in a multi-threaded program
149 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
150 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
153 - drop -uninstalled variants
154 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
156 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
157 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
158 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
160 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
162 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
163 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
166 - many code generation updates and improvements
167 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
170 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
171 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
173 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
175 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
178 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
179 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
181 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
182 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
184 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
186 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
190 * Partial list of bugs closed:
191 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

616 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
617 ==============================================
619 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
620 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
621 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
622 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
623 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
624 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
626 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
627 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
629 * Access to quarks is now lockless
631 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
633 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
635 * Introspection improvements:
636 - Add a boxed type for GVariantBuilder

684 * Updated translations:
693 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
694 ==============================================
697 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
698 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
699 an 'object manager' pattern:
700 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
701 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
702 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
703 And server-side implementations:
704 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
705 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
706 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
710 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
714 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
715 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
716 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
717 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
720 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
721 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
724 * Unix-specific APIs:
725 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
726 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
727 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
728 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
729 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
730 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
733 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing

740 646013 g_hash_table_remove_all_nodes optimization
741 646309 glib cannot be cross-compilled for mingw32
742 646435 GTimeZone doesn't seem to be thread-safe
743 646957 GIO chained calls don't work with a thread default context
744 647594 README link to mailing list is broken
745 647602 Cannot connect to remote message bus via TCP
746 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
747 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
748 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
749 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION
750 648423 Support G_DEBUG=trap-warnings
751 648425 GDesktopAppInfo: Add "filename" property for bindings
752 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
754 * Updated translations
761 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
762 ==============================================
765 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
766 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
767 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
770 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
771 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
772 situations has been improved
775 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
776 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
779 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
780 match strcmp() semantics
781 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
782 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
783 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
785 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
786 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
789 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
791 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
793 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
794 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
795 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

1073 ==============================================
1075 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
1076 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
1081 g_get_monotonic_time
1083 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
1086 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
1088 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
1090 g_simple_async_result_take_error

1098 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
1099 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
1101 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
1102 g_get_user_runtime_dir

1121 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
1122 ==============================================
1125 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
1126 - Support environment passing
1129 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
1130 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
1132 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
1133 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
1134 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
1138 158725 free linked list with data
1139 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

1149 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
1151 * Translation updates:
1157 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
1158 ==============================================
1160 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
1161 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
1163 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
1164 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
1166 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
1168 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
1170 g_settings_get_range
1171 g_settings_range_check
1172 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
1174 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
1175 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
1177 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
1178 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
1180 g_main_context_invoke
1181 g_main_context_invoke_full
1183 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
1184 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
1185 looking for default applications.
1187 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
1188 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
1189 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
1190 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
1192 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
1193 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
1194 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
1197 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe
1198 618737 "dispatch to context" functionality

1449 =====================================================
1451 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1452 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
1453 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1455 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
1456 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
1457 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
1458 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
1461 There have been many other improvements, however:
1464 - vastly improved test coverage
1465 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
1466 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
1467 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

1515 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
1516 =====================================================
1518 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1519 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
1520 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
1521 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
1522 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
1523 | required (and will be along soon). |
1524 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1527 - cleanup automake setup
1528 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
1529 - various docs fixups
1530 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

1536 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
1537 - add g_settings_reset()
1538 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
1541 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

1543 - proper support for file descriptor passing
1544 - new flags parameter for sending messages
1545 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
1546 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
1547 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
1548 - constness fixes for introspection structures
1549 - clean ups to subtree registration API
1552 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

1555 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
1556 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
1557 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
1560 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
1561 617483 Credentials passing
1562 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property

1584 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
1585 =====================================================
1587 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1588 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
1589 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
1590 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
1591 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1594 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
1595 -Bsymbolic-functions
1596 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
1597 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
1598 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
1599 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
1600 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
1603 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
1604 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
1605 nobody was doing that.
1606 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
1608 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
1609 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
1611 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
1612 have a serial number
1613 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
1615 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
1617 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
1618 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
1619 has finished running on GDBus services.
1620 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
1621 this due to the obvious race)
1622 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
1623 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
1626 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
1627 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
1628 arguments and different behaviour
1629 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
1630 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
1631 strings instead of utf8 strings
1632 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
1633 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
1634 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
1635 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
1636 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
1637 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
1638 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
1639 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
1640 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
1643 - improved documentation
1644 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
1645 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
1646 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
1647 overridden using <override>.
1648 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
1650 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
1651 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
1652 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
1653 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
1654 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
1655 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
1656 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
1657 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
1658 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
1659 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
1660 being set due to a premature free
1661 - command line tool: bash completion support
1662 - chain up in _finalize
1663 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
1665 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
1666 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
1667 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
1669 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
1670 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
1671 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
1672 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
1673 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
1677 - always intern GBinding prop names
1678 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
1679 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
1680 - GNode docs improvements
1681 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
1682 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
1683 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
1687 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
1688 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
1689 - improved tests for GKeyfile
1690 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
1691 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
1692 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
1693 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
1694 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
1696 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
1697 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
1698 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
1699 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
1700 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n

2387 ===================================================
2390 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
2391 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
2392 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
2393 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
2394 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
2395 while loading or saving it.
2396 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
2397 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
2398 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
2401 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
2402 interfaces to dynamic types.
2405 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
2406 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
