1 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2 ====================================================
4 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
8 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
10 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
11 them can restart the application with an action (via
16 - new API for launching subprocesses
18 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
20 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
22 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
23 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
25 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
27 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
29 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
30 actions and listing apps and actions
32 - bash tab completion is supported
34 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
36 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
37 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
39 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
42 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
43 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
48 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
50 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
51 class and inotify backend
53 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
54 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
56 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
61 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
62 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
63 when there are invalid schemas installed
65 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
69 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
70 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
72 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
75 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
76 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
77 semantics of the interface in each case
79 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
80 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
82 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
84 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
85 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
86 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
87 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
91 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
94 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
96 * Portability improvements
98 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
100 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
101 actually support it (like Hurd)
103 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
105 * Other small API changes/additions
107 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
108 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
109 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
111 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
113 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
116 * GMainContext/GSource
118 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
120 - g_source_remove() will not throw a critical in the case that you
121 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
122 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
123 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
124 broken and should probably be fixed.
126 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
127 require use of a linked list
131 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
132 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
133 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
135 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
139 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
140 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
141 gphoto, archive, at least).
143 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
145 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
148 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
149 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
150 (which shared exactly the same bug)
152 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
154 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
156 * Many documentation improvements
159 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
160 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART

214 What's new in Glib 2.38
215 ========================
217 * Application support
219 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
220 desktop entry specification
222 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
223 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
224 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
226 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
227 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
228 to launch other applications
230 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
231 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
235 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
236 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
237 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
238 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
239 any problems that this may have caused.
241 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
242 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
243 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
244 (allowing memory savings)
246 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
247 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
248 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
250 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
251 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
254 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
255 without destroying one of the objects involved
259 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
260 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
261 with a finite number of cases
263 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
264 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
266 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
267 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
268 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
269 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
272 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
276 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
277 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
278 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
280 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
282 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
283 and an API to check them
285 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
286 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
288 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
289 with most functions, but this is not recommended
293 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
294 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
295 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
298 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
299 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
300 particular directory (akin to 'du').
302 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
307 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
308 allow for regexp matching on streams
310 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
311 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
312 g_variant_new_printf()
316 - we can now generate TAP output
318 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
319 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
321 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
326 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

704 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
705 ==============================================
707 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
709 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
712 - fix some 'available since' annotations
714 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

720 * Translations updated:
736 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
737 ==============================================
739 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
740 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
741 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
742 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

796 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
797 ==============================================
799 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
800 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
801 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
802 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
803 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
807 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
808 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
810 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
811 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
812 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
813 * documentation fixes
814 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
817 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

831 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
832 ==============================================
834 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
836 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
837 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
839 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
840 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
842 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
855 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
856 ==============================================
858 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
861 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
862 ready at a specified monotonic time
864 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
866 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
869 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
870 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

968 * Translation updates:
983 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
984 ==============================================
986 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
987 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
988 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
989 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
990 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
992 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
993 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
994 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
995 particular, are incompatible.
997 * Bugs fixed in this release:

1042 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
1043 ==============================================
1045 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
1046 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
1047 causing regressions in applications.
1049 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
1050 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
1051 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
1054 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
1055 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
1056 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
1058 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
1060 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
1062 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
1064 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
1066 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
1068 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
1070 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
1072 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
1074 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
1076 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

1127 ==============================================
1129 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
1130 give feedback if they cause trouble:
1132 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
1133 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
1135 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
1137 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

1969 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.6 to 2.31.8
1970 ==============================================
1973 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
1974 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
1975 to an overridden property
1976 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
1977 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
1979 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
1980 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
1982 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status
1984 * GSettings: a native OS X backend has been added, under the

2024 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
2025 ==============================================
2027 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
2028 moved to GtkApplication.
2030 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
2031 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
2032 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
2033 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
2035 * lots of documentation improvements
2037 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
2039 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
2040 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
2042 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
2044 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
2046 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
2048 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
2049 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
2052 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
2053 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
2054 664699 glib: documentation fixes
2055 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
2056 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
2057 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
2058 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
2059 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
2060 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
2061 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
2062 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
2064 * Translations updated:
2068 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
2069 ==============================================
2071 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
2072 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
2073 There have also been many related improvements to action group
2076 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
2077 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
2078 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
2081 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
2082 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
2083 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
2084 through an idle on the context.
2086 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
2087 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
2088 fixes here and there.
2090 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
2091 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
2092 API available outside GLib
2094 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

2131 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
2133 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
2135 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
2136 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
2137 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
2139 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
2142 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
2143 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
2144 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
2147 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
2148 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

2155 - various GIO file and stream fixes
2156 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
2158 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
2159 =================================================
2161 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
2162 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
2164 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
2165 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
2166 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
2167 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
2168 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
2169 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
2170 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
2171 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
2172 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
2173 required (and has been deprecated)
2174 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
2175 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
2176 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
2177 without explicit initialisation.
2178 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
2179 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
2180 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
2182 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
2183 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
2184 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
2185 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
2186 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
2187 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
2188 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
2190 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
2191 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
2192 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
2193 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
2194 - GThread is now a refcounted type
2195 - other implementation details changed
2197 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
2198 deprecated/ directory.
2200 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
2201 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
2202 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
2204 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
2205 platform over a year ago).
2207 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
2208 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
2210 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
2211 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
2213 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
2214 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
2215 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
2216 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
2219 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
2220 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
2223 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
2225 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
2226 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
2228 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
2229 in a multi-threaded program
2231 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
2232 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
2235 - drop -uninstalled variants
2236 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
2238 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
2239 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
2240 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
2242 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
2244 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
2245 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
2248 - many code generation updates and improvements
2249 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
2252 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
2253 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
2255 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
2257 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
2260 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
2261 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
2263 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
2264 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
2266 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
2268 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
2272 * Partial list of bugs closed:
2273 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

2699 ==============================================
2701 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
2702 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
2703 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
2704 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
2705 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
2706 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
2708 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
2709 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
2711 * Access to quarks is now lockless
2713 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
2715 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

2766 * Updated translations:
2775 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
2776 ==============================================
2779 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
2780 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
2781 an 'object manager' pattern:
2782 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
2783 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
2784 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
2785 And server-side implementations:
2786 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
2787 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
2788 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
2792 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
2796 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
2797 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
2798 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
2799 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
2802 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
2803 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
2806 * Unix-specific APIs:
2807 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
2808 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
2809 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
2810 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
2811 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
2812 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

2834 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
2836 * Updated translations
2843 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
2844 ==============================================
2847 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
2848 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
2849 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
2852 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
2853 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
2854 situations has been improved
2857 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
2858 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
2861 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
2862 match strcmp() semantics
2863 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
2864 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
2865 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
2867 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
2868 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
2871 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
2873 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
2875 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
2876 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
2877 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

3119 that starts with a dot
3120 - GAppInfo gained API to differentiate between recommended
3121 and fallback mime handlers

3154 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
3155 ==============================================
3157 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
3158 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
3163 g_get_monotonic_time
3165 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
3168 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
3170 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
3172 g_simple_async_result_take_error
3173 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
3174 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
3176 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:

3180 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
3181 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
3183 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
3184 g_get_user_runtime_dir

3203 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
3204 ==============================================
3207 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
3208 - Support environment passing
3211 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
3212 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
3214 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
3215 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
3216 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
3220 158725 free linked list with data
3221 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
3222 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError

3230 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
3231 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
3233 * Translation updates:
3239 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
3240 ==============================================
3242 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
3243 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
3245 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
3246 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
3248 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
3250 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
3252 g_settings_get_range
3253 g_settings_range_check
3254 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
3256 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
3257 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
3259 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
3260 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
3262 g_main_context_invoke
3263 g_main_context_invoke_full
3265 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
3266 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
3267 looking for default applications.
3269 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
3270 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
3271 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
3272 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
3274 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
3275 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
3276 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

3534 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
3535 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3537 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
3538 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
3539 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
3540 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
3543 There have been many other improvements, however:
3546 - vastly improved test coverage
3547 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
3548 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
3549 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

3598 =====================================================
3600 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3601 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
3602 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
3603 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
3604 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
3605 | required (and will be along soon). |
3606 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3609 - cleanup automake setup
3610 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
3611 - various docs fixups
3612 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

3625 - proper support for file descriptor passing
3626 - new flags parameter for sending messages
3627 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
3628 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
3629 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
3630 - constness fixes for introspection structures
3631 - clean ups to subtree registration API
3634 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

3637 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
3638 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
3639 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
3642 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting

3667 =====================================================
3669 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3670 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
3671 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
3672 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
3673 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3676 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
3677 -Bsymbolic-functions
3678 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
3679 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
3680 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
3681 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
3682 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3685 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
3686 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
3687 nobody was doing that.
3688 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
3690 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
3691 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
3693 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
3694 have a serial number
3695 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
3697 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
3699 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
3700 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
3701 has finished running on GDBus services.
3702 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
3703 this due to the obvious race)
3704 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
3705 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
3708 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
3709 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
3710 arguments and different behaviour
3711 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
3712 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
3713 strings instead of utf8 strings
3714 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
3715 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
3716 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
3717 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
3718 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
3719 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
3720 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
3721 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
3722 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
3725 - improved documentation
3726 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
3727 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the

4374 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.1 to GLib 2.23.2
4375 ===================================================
4377 * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
4379 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
4381 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
4382 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
4383 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
4385 * Threading changes:
4386 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
4387 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
4389 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
4390 when g_type_init() is called.
4391 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
4394 - Another bunch of performance work has landed
4397 - GVariantType has been merged, with the rest of the GVariant

4472 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
4473 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
4474 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
4475 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
4476 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
4477 while loading or saving it.
4478 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
4479 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
4480 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
4483 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
4484 interfaces to dynamic types.
4487 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
4488 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
4489 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

5208 ===================================================
5210 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
5211 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
5212 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
5213 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
5214 also uses less memory overall.
5216 * Make g_poll available as public api
5218 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
5219 that a GError is set or unset
5221 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
5223 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
5224 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
5226 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
5227 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

6841 =================================================
6843 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
6844 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
6845 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
6847 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
6848 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
6851 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
6852 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
6853 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
6855 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
6857 * Memory management:
6858 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
6859 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
6860 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
6861 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
6862 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
6863 never worked as intended.
6864 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
6865 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
6866 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
6867 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
6868 efficient and scalable implementation.
6869 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
6872 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
6873 unnecessary recursion.
6876 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
6877 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
6878 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
6882 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
6885 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
6886 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
6887 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
6891 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
6892 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
6893 since they are in glib.h
