154 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
155 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
156 to an overridden property
157 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
158 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.

195 * Updated translations
205 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
206 ==============================================
208 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
209 moved to GtkApplication.
211 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
212 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
213 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
214 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
216 * lots of documentation improvements
218 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
220 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
221 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
223 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
225 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
227 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
229 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
230 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
233 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
234 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
235 664699 glib: documentation fixes
236 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
237 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
238 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
239 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
240 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
241 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
242 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
243 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
245 * Translations updated:
249 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
250 ==============================================
252 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
253 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
254 There have also been many related improvements to action group
257 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
258 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
259 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
262 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
263 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
264 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
265 through an idle on the context.
267 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
268 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
269 fixes here and there.
271 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
272 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
273 API available outside GLib
275 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

309 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.0 to 2.31.2
310 ==============================================
312 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
314 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
316 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
317 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
318 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
320 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
323 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
324 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
325 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
328 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
329 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
332 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
335 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
336 - various GIO file and stream fixes
337 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
339 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
340 =================================================
342 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
343 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
345 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
346 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
347 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
348 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
349 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
350 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
351 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
352 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
353 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
354 required (and has been deprecated)
355 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
356 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
357 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
358 without explicit initialisation.
359 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
360 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
361 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
363 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
364 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
365 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
366 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
367 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
368 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
369 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
371 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
372 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
373 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
374 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
375 - GThread is now a refcounted type
376 - other implementation details changed
378 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
379 deprecated/ directory.
381 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
382 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
383 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
385 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
386 platform over a year ago).
388 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
389 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
391 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
392 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
394 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
395 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
396 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
397 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
400 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
401 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
404 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
406 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
407 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
409 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
410 in a multi-threaded program
412 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
413 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
416 - drop -uninstalled variants
417 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
419 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
420 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
421 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
423 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
425 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
426 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
429 - many code generation updates and improvements
430 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
433 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
434 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
436 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
438 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
441 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
442 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
444 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
445 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
447 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
449 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
453 * Partial list of bugs closed:
454 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

880 ==============================================
882 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
883 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
884 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
885 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
886 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
887 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
889 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
890 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
892 * Access to quarks is now lockless
894 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
896 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

947 * Updated translations:
956 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
957 ==============================================
960 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
961 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
962 an 'object manager' pattern:
963 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
964 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
965 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
966 And server-side implementations:
967 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
968 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
969 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
973 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
977 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
978 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
979 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
980 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
983 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
984 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
987 * Unix-specific APIs:
988 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
989 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
990 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
991 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
992 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
993 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

1017 * Updated translations
1024 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
1025 ==============================================
1028 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
1029 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
1030 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
1033 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
1034 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
1035 situations has been improved
1038 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
1039 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
1042 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
1043 match strcmp() semantics
1044 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
1045 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
1046 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
1048 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
1049 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
1052 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
1054 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
1056 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
1057 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
1058 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

1392 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
1393 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
1395 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
1396 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
1397 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has

1414 * Translation updates:
1420 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
1421 ==============================================
1423 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
1424 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
1426 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
1427 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
1429 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
1431 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
1433 g_settings_get_range
1434 g_settings_range_check
1435 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
1437 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
1438 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
1440 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
1441 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
1443 g_main_context_invoke
1444 g_main_context_invoke_full
1446 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
1447 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
1448 looking for default applications.
1450 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
1451 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
1452 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
1453 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
1455 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
1456 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
1457 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

1716 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1718 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
1719 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
1720 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
1721 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
1724 There have been many other improvements, however:
1727 - vastly improved test coverage
1728 - old tests moved to the gtester framework

1782 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
1783 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
1784 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
1785 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
1786 | required (and will be along soon). |

1847 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
1848 =====================================================
1850 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1851 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
1852 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
1853 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
1854 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1857 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
1858 -Bsymbolic-functions
1859 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
1860 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
1861 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
1862 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
1863 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
1866 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
1867 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
1868 nobody was doing that.
1869 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
1871 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
1872 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
1874 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
1875 have a serial number
1876 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
1878 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
1880 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
1881 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
1882 has finished running on GDBus services.
1883 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
1884 this due to the obvious race)
1885 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
1886 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
1889 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
1890 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
1891 arguments and different behaviour
1892 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
1893 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
1894 strings instead of utf8 strings
1895 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
1896 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
1897 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
1898 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
1899 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
1900 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
1901 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
1902 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
1903 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
1906 - improved documentation
1907 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
1908 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
1909 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
1910 overridden using <override>.
1911 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
1913 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
1914 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
1915 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
1916 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
1917 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
1918 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
1919 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
1920 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
1921 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
1922 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
1923 being set due to a premature free
1924 - command line tool: bash completion support
1925 - chain up in _finalize
1926 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
1928 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
1929 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
1930 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
1932 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
1933 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
1934 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
1935 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
1936 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
1940 - always intern GBinding prop names
1941 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
1942 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
1943 - GNode docs improvements
1944 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
1945 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
1946 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
1950 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
1951 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
1952 - improved tests for GKeyfile
1953 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
1954 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
1955 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
1956 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
1957 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
1959 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
1960 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
1961 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
1962 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
1963 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
1964 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
1965 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
1966 610784 array test failing
1967 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
1968 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

2450 - GVariantBuilder and GVariantIter are now merged.
2451 - The variable arguments API is now merged.
2452 - The parser will be in a future release.
2455 - Remove GUtf8InputStream (which never appeared in a stable release)
2456 for now since it doesn't satisfy the needs of its main intended use
2457 case. We hope to reimplement this feature in a better form in a

2653 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
2654 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
2655 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
2656 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
2657 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
2658 while loading or saving it.
2659 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
2660 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
2661 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
2664 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
2665 interfaces to dynamic types.
2668 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
2669 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

3392 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

3395 also uses less memory overall.

3400 that a GError is set or unset
3402 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
3404 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
3405 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
3407 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
3408 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

5046 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
5047 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
5048 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
5049 efficient and scalable implementation.
5050 [Tim Janik, Matthias]

5066 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
5067 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
5068 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
5072 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
5073 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
