157 * Translations updates:
164 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
165 ====================================================
167 * GSettings fixes/improvements
169 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
171 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
172 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
175 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
176 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
179 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
181 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
183 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
186 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
187 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
189 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
191 * Applications/Actions
193 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
194 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
197 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
198 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
200 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
201 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
202 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
203 not itself at fault for the errant call)
207 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
208 accesses that are performed in common situations
210 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
211 are installed/removed
213 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
214 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
216 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
217 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
222 - ignore qualified tags, as above
224 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
225 that test programs don't pick them up
227 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
229 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
230 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
231 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
232 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
234 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
235 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
237 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
238 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
239 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
243 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
245 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
247 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
249 Translations updated:
257 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes
258 637257 g_tls_client_connection_gnutls_retrieve_function needs to be able to block
259 637956 GKeyfileSettingsBackend should ignore file deletions
260 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
261 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
262 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
263 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is
264 680838 Need g_settings_schema_source_get_schemas()
265 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata
266 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names
267 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
268 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
269 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right
270 697348 GTestDBus should unset DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS, DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE
271 710133 Emit backward compatible code with gdbus-codegen
272 710691 glib-networking: locking during implicit handshake
273 710738 GRand has lame fallback for Windows

282 711064 Adding child source to blocked source can cause a segfault
283 711070 Copying a symlink over another one segfaults
284 711099 gapplication test failure
285 711520 GDesktopAppInfo: allow more than one level of legacy folder prefixes
286 711556 Add GAppInfoMonitor
287 711557 Add g_desktop_app_info_search()
288 711600 trivial portability fix

299 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
300 ====================================================
302 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
306 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
308 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
309 them can restart the application with an action (via
314 - new API for launching subprocesses
316 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
318 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
320 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
321 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
323 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
325 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
327 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
328 actions and listing apps and actions
330 - bash tab completion is supported
332 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
334 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
335 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
337 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
340 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
341 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
346 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
348 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
349 class and inotify backend
351 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
352 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
354 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
359 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
360 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
361 when there are invalid schemas installed
363 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
367 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
368 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
370 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
373 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
374 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
375 semantics of the interface in each case
377 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
378 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
380 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
382 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
383 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
384 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
385 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
389 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
392 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
394 * Portability improvements
396 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
398 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
399 actually support it (like Hurd)
401 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
403 * Other small API changes/additions
405 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
406 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
407 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
409 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
411 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
414 * GMainContext/GSource
416 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
418 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
419 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
420 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
421 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
422 broken and should probably be fixed.
424 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
425 require use of a linked list
429 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
430 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
431 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
433 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
437 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
438 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
439 gphoto, archive, at least).
441 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
443 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
446 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
447 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
448 (which shared exactly the same bug)
450 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
452 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
454 * Many documentation improvements
457 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
458 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
459 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

512 What's new in Glib 2.38
513 ========================
515 * Application support
517 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
518 desktop entry specification
520 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
521 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
522 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
524 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
525 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
526 to launch other applications
528 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
529 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
533 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
534 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
535 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
536 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
537 any problems that this may have caused.
539 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
540 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
541 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
542 (allowing memory savings)
544 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
545 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
546 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
548 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
549 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
552 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
553 without destroying one of the objects involved
557 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
558 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
559 with a finite number of cases
561 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
562 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
564 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
565 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
566 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
567 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
570 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
574 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
575 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
576 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
578 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
580 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
581 and an API to check them
583 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
584 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
586 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
587 with most functions, but this is not recommended
591 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
592 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
593 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
596 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
597 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
598 particular directory (akin to 'du').
600 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
605 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
606 allow for regexp matching on streams
608 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
609 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
610 g_variant_new_printf()
614 - we can now generate TAP output
616 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
617 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
619 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
624 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library
626 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.93 to 2.38.0

845 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
846 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
848 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
849 and will trigger a warning.
852 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

886 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
887 ==============================================
889 * add support for installed tests:

892 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
893 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
895 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
897 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
899 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

934 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
935 ==============================================
937 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
938 and a parser API for them is now provided
940 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
941 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
942 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

1002 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
1003 ==============================================
1005 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
1007 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
1008 the destination file
1010 - fix some 'available since' annotations

1034 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
1035 ==============================================
1037 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
1038 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
1039 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
1040 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

1094 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
1095 ==============================================
1097 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
1098 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
1099 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
1100 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
1101 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
1105 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
1106 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
1108 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
1109 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
1110 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
1111 * documentation fixes
1112 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
1115 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

1129 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
1130 ==============================================
1132 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
1134 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
1135 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
1137 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
1138 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
1140 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
1153 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
1154 ==============================================
1156 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
1159 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
1160 ready at a specified monotonic time
1162 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
1164 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

1266 * Translation updates:
1281 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
1282 ==============================================
1284 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
1285 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
1286 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
1287 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
1288 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
1290 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
1291 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not

1340 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
1341 ==============================================
1343 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
1344 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
1345 causing regressions in applications.
1347 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
1348 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
1349 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
1352 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
1353 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
1354 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
1356 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
1358 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
1360 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
1362 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
1364 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
1366 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
1368 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
1370 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
1372 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
1374 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

1425 ==============================================
1427 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
1428 give feedback if they cause trouble:
1430 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
1431 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
1433 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
1435 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
1437 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
1439 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
1441 * GLib version macros updated

2271 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
2272 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
2273 to an overridden property
2274 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
2275 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
2277 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:

2322 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
2323 ==============================================
2325 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
2326 moved to GtkApplication.
2328 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
2329 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
2330 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
2331 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
2333 * lots of documentation improvements
2335 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
2337 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
2338 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
2340 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
2342 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
2344 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
2346 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
2347 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
2350 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
2351 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

2360 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
2362 * Translations updated:
2366 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
2367 ==============================================
2369 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
2370 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
2371 There have also been many related improvements to action group
2374 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
2375 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
2376 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
2379 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
2380 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
2381 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
2382 through an idle on the context.
2384 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
2385 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
2386 fixes here and there.
2388 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
2389 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
2390 API available outside GLib
2392 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

2434 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
2435 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
2437 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

2456 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
2457 =================================================
2459 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
2460 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
2462 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
2463 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
2464 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
2465 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
2466 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
2467 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
2468 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
2469 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
2470 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
2471 required (and has been deprecated)
2472 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
2473 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
2474 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
2475 without explicit initialisation.
2476 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
2477 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
2478 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
2480 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
2481 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
2482 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
2483 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
2484 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
2485 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
2486 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
2488 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
2489 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
2490 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
2491 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
2492 - GThread is now a refcounted type
2493 - other implementation details changed
2495 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
2496 deprecated/ directory.
2498 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
2499 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
2500 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
2502 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
2503 platform over a year ago).
2505 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
2506 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
2508 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
2509 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
2511 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
2512 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
2513 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
2514 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
2517 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
2518 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
2521 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
2523 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
2524 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
2526 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
2527 in a multi-threaded program
2529 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
2530 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
2533 - drop -uninstalled variants
2534 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
2536 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
2537 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
2538 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
2540 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
2542 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
2543 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
2546 - many code generation updates and improvements
2547 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
2550 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
2551 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
2553 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
2555 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
2558 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
2559 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
2561 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
2562 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
2564 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
2566 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
2570 * Partial list of bugs closed:

2996 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
2997 ==============================================
2999 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
3000 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
3001 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
3002 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
3003 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
3004 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
3006 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
3007 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
3009 * Access to quarks is now lockless
3011 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
3013 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

3073 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
3074 ==============================================
3077 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
3078 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
3079 an 'object manager' pattern:
3080 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
3081 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
3082 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
3083 And server-side implementations:
3084 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
3085 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
3086 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
3090 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
3094 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
3095 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
3096 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
3097 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
3100 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
3101 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
3104 * Unix-specific APIs:
3105 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
3106 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
3107 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
3108 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
3109 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
3110 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

3134 * Updated translations
3141 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
3142 ==============================================
3145 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
3146 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
3147 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
3150 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
3151 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
3152 situations has been improved
3155 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
3156 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
3159 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
3160 match strcmp() semantics
3161 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
3162 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
3163 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
3165 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
3166 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
3169 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
3171 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
3173 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
3174 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
3175 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

3455 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
3456 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
3461 g_get_monotonic_time
3463 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
3466 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
3468 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
3470 g_simple_async_result_take_error

3505 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
3506 - Support environment passing
3509 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
3510 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
3512 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
3513 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
3514 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
3518 158725 free linked list with data

3531 * Translation updates:
3537 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
3538 ==============================================
3540 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
3541 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
3543 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
3544 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
3546 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
3548 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
3550 g_settings_get_range
3551 g_settings_range_check
3552 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
3554 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
3555 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
3557 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
3558 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
3560 g_main_context_invoke
3561 g_main_context_invoke_full
3563 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
3564 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
3565 looking for default applications.
3567 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
3568 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
3569 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
3570 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
3572 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
3573 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
3574 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

3831 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3832 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
3833 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3835 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
3836 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
3837 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
3838 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
3841 There have been many other improvements, however:
3844 - vastly improved test coverage
3845 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
3846 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
3847 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
3850 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

3896 =====================================================
3898 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3899 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
3900 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
3901 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
3902 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
3903 | required (and will be along soon). |
3904 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3907 - cleanup automake setup
3908 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
3909 - various docs fixups
3910 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

3916 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
3917 - add g_settings_reset()
3918 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
3921 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

3925 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
3926 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
3927 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
3928 - constness fixes for introspection structures
3929 - clean ups to subtree registration API
3932 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

3964 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
3965 =====================================================
3967 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3968 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
3969 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
3970 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
3971 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3974 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
3975 -Bsymbolic-functions
3976 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
3977 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
3978 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
3979 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
3980 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3983 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
3984 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
3985 nobody was doing that.
3986 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
3988 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
3989 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
3991 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
3992 have a serial number
3993 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
3995 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
3997 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
3998 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
3999 has finished running on GDBus services.
4000 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
4001 this due to the obvious race)
4002 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
4003 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
4006 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
4007 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
4008 arguments and different behaviour
4009 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
4010 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
4011 strings instead of utf8 strings
4012 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
4013 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
4014 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
4015 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
4016 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
4017 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
4018 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
4019 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
4020 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
4023 - improved documentation
4024 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
4025 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
4026 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
4027 overridden using <override>.
4028 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
4030 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
4031 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
4032 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
4033 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
4034 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
4035 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
4036 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
4037 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
4038 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
4039 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
4040 being set due to a premature free
4041 - command line tool: bash completion support
4042 - chain up in _finalize
4043 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
4045 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
4046 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
4047 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
4049 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
4050 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
4051 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
4052 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
4053 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
4057 - always intern GBinding prop names
4058 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
4059 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
4060 - GNode docs improvements
4061 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
4062 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
4063 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
4067 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
4068 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
4069 - improved tests for GKeyfile
4070 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
4071 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
4072 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
4073 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
4074 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
4076 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
4077 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
4078 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4079 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
4080 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
4081 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
4082 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
4083 610784 array test failing

4777 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
4778 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
4781 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
4782 interfaces to dynamic types.

5509 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

5512 also uses less memory overall.

5521 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
5522 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
5524 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
