1 What's new in Glib 2.38
2 ========================
6 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
7 desktop entry specification
9 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
10 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
11 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
13 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
14 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
15 to launch other applications
17 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
18 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
22 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
23 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
24 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
25 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
26 any problems that this may have caused.
28 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
29 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
30 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
31 (allowing memory savings)
33 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
34 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
35 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
37 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
38 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
41 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
42 without destroying one of the objects involved
46 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
47 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
48 with a finite number of cases
50 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
51 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
53 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
54 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
55 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
56 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
59 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
63 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
64 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
65 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
67 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
69 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
70 and an API to check them
72 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
73 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
75 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
76 with most functions, but this is not recommended
80 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
81 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
82 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
85 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
86 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
87 particular directory (akin to 'du').
89 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
94 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
95 allow for regexp matching on streams
97 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
98 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
99 g_variant_new_printf()
103 - we can now generate TAP output
105 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
106 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
108 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
113 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

423 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
424 ==============================================
426 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
427 and a parser API for them is now provided
429 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for

491 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
492 ==============================================
494 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
496 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
499 - fix some 'available since' annotations
501 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

507 * Translations updated:
523 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
524 ==============================================
526 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
527 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
528 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
529 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

583 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
584 ==============================================
586 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
587 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
588 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
589 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
590 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
594 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
595 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
597 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
598 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
599 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
600 * documentation fixes
601 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
604 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

618 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
619 ==============================================
621 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
623 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
624 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
626 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
627 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
629 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
642 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
643 ==============================================
645 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors

755 * Translation updates:
770 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
771 ==============================================
773 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
774 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
775 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
776 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
777 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
779 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
780 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
781 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
782 particular, are incompatible.
784 * Bugs fixed in this release:

829 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
830 ==============================================
832 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
833 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
834 causing regressions in applications.
836 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
837 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
838 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
841 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
842 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
843 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
845 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
847 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
849 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
851 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
853 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
855 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
857 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
859 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
861 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
863 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

913 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
914 ==============================================
916 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
917 give feedback if they cause trouble:
919 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
920 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
922 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
924 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

1760 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
1761 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
1762 to an overridden property

1812 ==============================================
1814 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
1815 moved to GtkApplication.
1817 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
1818 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
1819 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
1820 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
1822 * lots of documentation improvements
1824 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
1826 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
1827 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
1829 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
1831 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
1833 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
1835 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
1836 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
1839 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
1840 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

1858 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
1859 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
1860 There have also been many related improvements to action group
1863 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
1864 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
1865 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
1868 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
1869 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
1870 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
1871 through an idle on the context.
1873 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
1874 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
1875 fixes here and there.
1877 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
1878 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
1879 API available outside GLib

1945 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
1946 =================================================
1948 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
1949 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
1951 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
1952 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
1953 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
1954 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
1955 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
1956 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
1957 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
1958 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
1959 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
1960 required (and has been deprecated)
1961 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
1962 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
1963 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
1964 without explicit initialisation.
1965 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
1966 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
1967 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
1969 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
1970 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
1971 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
1972 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
1973 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
1974 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
1975 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1977 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1978 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1979 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1980 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1981 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1982 - other implementation details changed
1984 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1985 deprecated/ directory.
1987 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1988 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1989 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1991 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1992 platform over a year ago).
1994 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1995 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1997 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1998 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
2000 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
2001 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
2002 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
2003 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
2006 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
2007 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
2010 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
2012 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
2013 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
2015 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
2016 in a multi-threaded program
2018 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
2019 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
2022 - drop -uninstalled variants
2023 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
2025 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
2026 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
2027 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
2029 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
2031 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
2032 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
2035 - many code generation updates and improvements
2036 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
2039 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
2040 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
2042 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
2044 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
2047 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
2048 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
2050 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
2051 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
2053 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
2055 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes

2486 ==============================================
2488 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
2489 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
2490 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
2491 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
2492 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
2493 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.

2562 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
2563 ==============================================
2566 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
2567 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
2568 an 'object manager' pattern:
2569 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
2570 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
2571 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
2572 And server-side implementations:
2573 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
2574 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
2575 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
2579 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
2583 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
2584 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
2585 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
2586 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
2589 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
2590 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
2593 * Unix-specific APIs:
2594 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
2595 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
2596 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
2597 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
2598 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
2599 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

2615 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
2616 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
2617 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
2618 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

2621 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
2623 * Updated translations
2630 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
2631 ==============================================
2634 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
2635 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
2636 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
2639 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
2640 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
2641 situations has been improved
2644 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
2645 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
2648 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
2649 match strcmp() semantics
2650 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
2651 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
2652 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
2654 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
2655 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
2658 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
2660 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
2662 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
2663 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
2664 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

2906 that starts with a dot
2907 - GAppInfo gained API to differentiate between recommended
2908 and fallback mime handlers

2942 ==============================================
2944 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
2945 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
2950 g_get_monotonic_time
2952 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
2955 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
2957 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
2959 g_simple_async_result_take_error
2960 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
2961 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
2963 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
2966 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
2967 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
2968 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
2970 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
2971 g_get_user_runtime_dir

2990 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
2991 ==============================================
2994 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
2995 - Support environment passing
2998 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
2999 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
3001 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
3002 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
3003 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
3007 158725 free linked list with data

3017 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
3018 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
3020 * Translation updates:
3026 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
3027 ==============================================
3029 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
3030 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
3032 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
3033 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
3035 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
3037 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
3039 g_settings_get_range
3040 g_settings_range_check
3041 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
3043 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
3044 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
3046 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
3047 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
3049 g_main_context_invoke
3050 g_main_context_invoke_full
3052 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
3053 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
3054 looking for default applications.
3056 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
3057 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
3058 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
3059 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
3061 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
3062 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
3063 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

3318 =====================================================
3320 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3321 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
3322 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3324 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
3325 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
3326 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
3327 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
3330 There have been many other improvements, however:
3333 - vastly improved test coverage
3334 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
3335 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
3336 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

3385 =====================================================
3387 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3388 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
3389 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
3390 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
3391 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
3392 | required (and will be along soon). |
3393 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3396 - cleanup automake setup
3397 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
3398 - various docs fixups
3399 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

3405 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
3406 - add g_settings_reset()
3407 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
3410 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

3412 - proper support for file descriptor passing
3413 - new flags parameter for sending messages
3414 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
3415 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
3416 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
3417 - constness fixes for introspection structures
3418 - clean ups to subtree registration API
3421 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

3425 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
3426 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
3429 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting

3454 =====================================================
3456 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3457 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
3458 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
3459 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
3460 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3463 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
3464 -Bsymbolic-functions
3465 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
3466 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
3467 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
3468 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
3469 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3472 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
3473 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
3474 nobody was doing that.
3475 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
3477 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
3478 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
3480 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
3481 have a serial number
3482 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
3484 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
3486 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
3487 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
3488 has finished running on GDBus services.
3489 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
3490 this due to the obvious race)
3491 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
3492 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
3495 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
3496 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
3497 arguments and different behaviour
3498 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
3499 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
3500 strings instead of utf8 strings
3501 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
3502 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
3503 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
3504 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
3505 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
3506 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
3507 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
3508 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
3509 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
3512 - improved documentation
3513 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
3514 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
3515 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
3516 overridden using <override>.
3517 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
3519 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
3520 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
3521 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
3522 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
3523 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
3524 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
3525 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
3526 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
3527 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
3528 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
3529 being set due to a premature free
3530 - command line tool: bash completion support
3531 - chain up in _finalize
3532 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
3534 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
3535 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
3536 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
3538 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
3539 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
3540 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
3541 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
3542 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
3546 - always intern GBinding prop names
3547 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
3548 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
3549 - GNode docs improvements
3550 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
3551 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
3552 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
3556 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
3557 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
3558 - improved tests for GKeyfile
3559 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
3560 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
3561 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
3562 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
3563 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
3565 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
3566 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
3567 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3568 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
3569 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
3570 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
3571 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
3572 610784 array test failing

4259 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
4260 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
4261 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
4262 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
4263 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
4264 while loading or saving it.
4265 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
4266 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
4267 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
4270 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
4271 interfaces to dynamic types.
