704 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
705 ==================================
707 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
708 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
709 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
710 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
712 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
713 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
714 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
716 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
717 environment variable.
719 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
720 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

880 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
881 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
882 is unavailable or undesired.
884 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
885 glib-networking will also be required.

939 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
940 ==================================
942 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
943 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
944 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
945 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
947 This release corrects only this problem.
949 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
950 ==================================
952 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
953 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
954 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
956 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1302 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1303 ==================================
1305 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1306 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1307 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1308 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1309 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1310 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1312 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1313 have seen major improvements.
1315 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1316 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1317 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1320 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1322 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1324 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1326 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1327 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1328 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1329 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1330 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1331 you use the --strict option.
1333 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1334 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1335 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1337 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1339 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1340 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1341 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1386 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
1387 ===================================
1389 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1390 before the release of 2.44.0.
1392 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1394 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1395 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1396 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1397 default in the next cycle.
1399 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
1401 * new GTask:completed property
1403 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
1404 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

1444 ===================================
1446 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
1447 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1448 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1450 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1451 effective busy state.
1453 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

1504 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
1506 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
1507 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.

2249 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2250 ====================================================
2252 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2254 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2256 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2257 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2260 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2261 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2264 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2266 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2268 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2271 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2272 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2274 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2276 * Applications/Actions
2278 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2279 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2282 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2283 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2285 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2286 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2287 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2288 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2292 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2293 accesses that are performed in common situations
2295 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2296 are installed/removed
2298 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2299 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2301 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2302 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2307 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2309 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2310 that test programs don't pick them up
2312 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2314 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2315 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2316 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2317 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2319 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2320 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2322 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2323 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2324 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2328 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2330 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2332 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

2384 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2385 ====================================================
2387 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2391 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2393 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2394 them can restart the application with an action (via
2399 - new API for launching subprocesses
2401 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2403 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2405 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2406 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2408 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2410 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2412 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2413 actions and listing apps and actions
2415 - bash tab completion is supported
2417 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2419 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2420 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2422 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2423 DBusActivatable=true
2425 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2426 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2431 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2433 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2434 class and inotify backend
2436 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2437 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2439 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2444 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2445 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2446 when there are invalid schemas installed
2448 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2452 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2453 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2455 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2458 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2459 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2460 semantics of the interface in each case
2462 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2463 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2465 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2467 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2468 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2469 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2470 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2474 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2477 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2479 * Portability improvements
2481 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2483 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2484 actually support it (like Hurd)
2486 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2488 * Other small API changes/additions
2490 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2491 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2492 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2494 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2496 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2497 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2499 * GMainContext/GSource
2501 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2503 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2504 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2505 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2506 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2507 broken and should probably be fixed.
2509 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2510 require use of a linked list
2514 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2515 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2516 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2518 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2522 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2523 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2524 gphoto, archive, at least).
2526 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2528 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2531 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2532 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2533 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2535 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2537 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2539 * Many documentation improvements
2542 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2543 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2544 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

2597 What's new in Glib 2.38
2598 ========================
2600 * Application support
2602 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2603 desktop entry specification
2605 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2606 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2607 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2609 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2610 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2611 to launch other applications
2613 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2614 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2618 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2619 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2620 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2621 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2622 any problems that this may have caused.
2624 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2625 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2626 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2627 (allowing memory savings)
2629 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2630 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2631 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2633 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2634 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2637 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2638 without destroying one of the objects involved
2642 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2643 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2644 with a finite number of cases
2646 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2647 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2649 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2650 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2651 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2652 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2655 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2659 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2660 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2661 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2663 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2665 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2666 and an API to check them
2668 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2669 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2671 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2672 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2676 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2677 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2678 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2681 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2682 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2683 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2685 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2690 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2691 allow for regexp matching on streams
2693 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2694 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2695 g_variant_new_printf()
2699 - we can now generate TAP output
2701 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2702 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2704 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2709 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2831 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
2832 ==============================================
2834 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2835 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2836 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2837 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
2839 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
2840 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
2843 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
2845 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
2846 the key was locked down)

3019 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
3020 ==============================================
3022 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3023 and a parser API for them is now provided
3025 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3026 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3027 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3087 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
3088 ==============================================
3090 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
3092 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
3093 the destination file
3095 - fix some 'available since' annotations
3097 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

3103 * Translations updated:
3119 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
3120 ==============================================
3122 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3123 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3124 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3125 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3179 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3180 ==============================================
3182 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3183 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3184 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3185 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3186 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3190 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3191 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3193 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
3194 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
3195 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
3196 * documentation fixes
3197 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
3200 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

3214 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
3215 ==============================================
3217 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3219 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3220 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3222 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3223 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3225 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3238 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3239 ==============================================
3241 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3244 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3245 ready at a specified monotonic time
3247 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3249 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
3252 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
3253 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

3351 * Translation updates:
3366 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3367 ==============================================
3369 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3370 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3371 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3372 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3373 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3375 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3376 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3377 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3378 particular, are incompatible.
3380 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3425 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3426 ==============================================
3428 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3429 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3430 causing regressions in applications.
3432 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3433 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3434 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3437 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3438 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3439 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3441 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3443 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3445 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3447 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3449 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3451 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3453 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3455 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3457 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3459 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3509 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
3510 ==============================================
3512 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3513 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3515 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3516 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3518 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3520 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
3522 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
3524 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
3526 * GLib version macros updated
3528 * Update to Unicode 6.2
3530 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts
3532 * GTimeZone support for old-format zoneinfo database (as on Mac OS)
3534 * g_settings_bind() now works with non-canonical property names
3536 * Fix crashes related to NULL connection passed to
3537 GBusNameVanishedCallback and document this situation

4353 ==============================================
4356 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4357 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4358 to an overridden property
4359 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4360 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4362 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4363 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
4365 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

4407 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4408 ==============================================
4410 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4411 moved to GtkApplication.
4413 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4414 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4415 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4416 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4418 * lots of documentation improvements
4420 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4422 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4423 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4425 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4427 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4429 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4431 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4432 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4435 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4436 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4440 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4441 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
4442 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
4443 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
4444 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
4445 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
4447 * Translations updated:
4451 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4452 ==============================================
4454 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4455 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4456 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4459 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4460 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4461 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4464 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4465 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4466 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4467 through an idle on the context.
4469 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4470 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4471 fixes here and there.
4473 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4474 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4475 API available outside GLib
4477 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4516 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
4518 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4519 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4520 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4522 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4525 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4526 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
4527 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality

4538 - various GIO file and stream fixes
4539 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
4541 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4542 =================================================
4544 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4545 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4547 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4548 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4549 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4550 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4551 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4552 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4553 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4554 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4555 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4556 required (and has been deprecated)
4557 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4558 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4559 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4560 without explicit initialisation.
4561 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4562 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4563 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4565 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4566 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4567 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4568 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4569 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4570 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4571 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4573 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4574 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4575 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4576 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4577 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4578 - other implementation details changed
4580 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4581 deprecated/ directory.
4583 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4584 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4585 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4587 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4588 platform over a year ago).
4590 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4591 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4593 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4594 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4596 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4597 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4598 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4599 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4602 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4603 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4606 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4608 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4609 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4611 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4612 in a multi-threaded program
4614 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4615 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4618 - drop -uninstalled variants
4619 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4621 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4622 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4623 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4625 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4627 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4628 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4631 - many code generation updates and improvements
4632 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4635 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4636 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4638 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4640 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4643 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4644 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4646 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4647 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4649 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4651 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4655 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4656 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5081 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
5082 ==============================================
5084 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5085 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5086 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5087 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5088 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5089 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5091 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5092 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5094 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5096 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

5149 * Updated translations:
5158 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5159 ==============================================
5162 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5163 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5164 an 'object manager' pattern:
5165 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5166 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5167 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5168 And server-side implementations:
5169 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5170 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5171 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5175 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5179 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5180 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5181 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5182 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5185 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5186 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5189 * Unix-specific APIs:
5190 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5191 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5192 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5193 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5194 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5195 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5219 * Updated translations
5226 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5227 ==============================================
5230 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5231 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5232 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5235 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5236 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5237 situations has been improved
5240 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5241 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5244 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5245 match strcmp() semantics
5246 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5247 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5248 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5250 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5251 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5254 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5256 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5258 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5259 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5260 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5594 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5595 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5597 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5598 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5599 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has

5616 * Translation updates:
5622 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5623 ==============================================
5625 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5626 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5628 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5629 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5631 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5633 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5635 g_settings_get_range
5636 g_settings_range_check
5637 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5639 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5640 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5642 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5643 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5645 g_main_context_invoke
5646 g_main_context_invoke_full
5648 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5649 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5650 looking for default applications.
5652 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5653 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5654 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5655 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5657 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5658 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5659 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5917 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5918 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5920 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5921 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5922 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5923 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5926 There have been many other improvements, however:
5929 - vastly improved test coverage
5930 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5931 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5932 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

5950 without mapping functions
5951 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
5954 - improve closure support for bindings
5955 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag

5981 =====================================================
5983 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5984 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5985 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5986 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5987 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5988 | required (and will be along soon). |

6049 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
6050 =====================================================
6052 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6053 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6054 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6055 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6056 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6059 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6060 -Bsymbolic-functions
6061 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6062 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6063 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6064 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6065 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6068 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6069 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6070 nobody was doing that.
6071 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6073 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6074 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6076 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6077 have a serial number
6078 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6080 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6082 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6083 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6084 has finished running on GDBus services.
6085 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6086 this due to the obvious race)
6087 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6088 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6091 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6092 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6093 arguments and different behaviour
6094 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6095 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6096 strings instead of utf8 strings
6097 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6098 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6099 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6100 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6101 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6102 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6103 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6104 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6105 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6108 - improved documentation
6109 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6110 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6111 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6112 overridden using <override>.
6113 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6115 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6116 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6117 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6118 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6119 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6120 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6121 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6122 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6123 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6124 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6125 being set due to a premature free
6126 - command line tool: bash completion support
6127 - chain up in _finalize
6128 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6130 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6131 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6132 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6134 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6135 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6136 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6137 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6138 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6142 - always intern GBinding prop names
6143 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6144 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6145 - GNode docs improvements
6146 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6147 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6148 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
6152 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
6153 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6154 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6155 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6156 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6157 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6158 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6159 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6161 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6162 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
6163 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6164 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6165 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
6166 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
6167 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
6168 610784 array test failing
6169 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation

6855 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6856 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6857 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6858 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6859 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6860 while loading or saving it.
6861 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6862 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6863 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6866 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6867 interfaces to dynamic types.
6870 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
6871 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

7594 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

7597 also uses less memory overall.

7602 that a GError is set or unset

7606 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7607 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7609 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7610 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

10235 and shell quoting/unquoting functions. [Havoc]
10236 * Split glib.h into many headers. [Sebastian]
10237 * Added a simple callback-based parser for XML-like files (GMarkup). [Havoc]
10238 * Fixed confusions between comparison functions that return <0, 0, >0
10239 and equaility functions that return FALSE,TRUE. [Sebastian]
10240 * Added safe/portable temporary file manipulation functions. [Tor]
10241 * autoconf improvements. [Raja]
10242 * Many documentation improvements.
10247 * Added boxed and pointer types. [Tim/Jonathan]
