82 * Translation updates:
89 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
90 ==================================
92 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
93 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
94 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
95 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
96 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
97 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
99 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
100 have seen major improvements.
102 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
103 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
104 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
107 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
109 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
111 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
113 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
114 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
115 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
116 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
117 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
118 you use the --strict option.
120 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
121 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
122 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
124 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
126 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
127 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
128 default handlers for a generic supertype.

173 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
174 ===================================
176 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
177 before the release of 2.44.0.
179 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
181 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
182 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
183 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
184 default in the next cycle.
186 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
188 * new GTask:completed property
190 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
191 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

205 Translations updated:
230 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
231 ===================================
233 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
234 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
235 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
237 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
238 effective busy state.
240 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.
243 661554 GIO's use of GError is wrong

278 Translations updated:
286 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.4
287 ==================================
289 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
290 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
291 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
293 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
294 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.
296 * GListModel is a new interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.

665 * Many bugfixes found by static analysis, including potential fd leaks
666 and NULL pointer dereferences.
668 * Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
669 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).

778 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
779 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
780 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
781 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

1036 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
1037 ====================================================
1039 * GSettings fixes/improvements
1041 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
1043 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
1044 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
1047 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
1048 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
1051 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
1053 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
1055 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
1058 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
1059 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
1061 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
1063 * Applications/Actions
1065 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
1066 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
1069 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
1070 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
1072 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
1073 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
1074 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
1075 not itself at fault for the errant call)
1079 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
1080 accesses that are performed in common situations
1082 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
1083 are installed/removed
1085 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
1086 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
1088 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
1089 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
1094 - ignore qualified tags, as above
1096 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
1097 that test programs don't pick them up
1099 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
1101 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
1102 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
1103 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
1104 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
1106 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
1107 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
1109 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
1110 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
1111 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
1115 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
1117 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
1119 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

1171 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
1172 ====================================================
1174 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
1178 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
1180 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
1181 them can restart the application with an action (via
1186 - new API for launching subprocesses
1188 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
1190 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
1192 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
1193 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
1195 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
1197 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
1199 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
1200 actions and listing apps and actions
1202 - bash tab completion is supported
1204 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
1206 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
1207 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
1209 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
1210 DBusActivatable=true
1212 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
1213 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
1218 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
1220 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
1221 class and inotify backend
1223 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
1224 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
1226 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
1231 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
1232 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
1233 when there are invalid schemas installed
1235 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
1239 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
1240 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
1242 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
1245 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
1246 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
1247 semantics of the interface in each case
1249 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
1250 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
1252 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
1254 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
1255 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
1256 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
1257 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
1261 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
1264 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
1266 * Portability improvements
1268 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
1270 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
1271 actually support it (like Hurd)
1273 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
1275 * Other small API changes/additions
1277 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
1278 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
1279 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
1281 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
1283 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
1284 G_LOG_ERROR messages
1286 * GMainContext/GSource
1288 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
1290 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
1291 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
1292 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
1293 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
1294 broken and should probably be fixed.
1296 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
1297 require use of a linked list
1301 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
1302 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
1303 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
1305 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
1309 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
1310 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
1311 gphoto, archive, at least).
1313 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
1315 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
1318 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
1319 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
1320 (which shared exactly the same bug)
1322 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
1324 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
1326 * Many documentation improvements
1329 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
1330 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
1331 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

1378 Brazilian Portuguese
1384 What's new in Glib 2.38
1385 ========================
1387 * Application support
1389 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
1390 desktop entry specification
1392 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
1393 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
1394 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
1396 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
1397 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
1398 to launch other applications
1400 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
1401 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
1405 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
1406 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
1407 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
1408 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
1409 any problems that this may have caused.
1411 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
1412 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
1413 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
1414 (allowing memory savings)
1416 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
1417 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
1418 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
1420 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
1421 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
1424 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
1425 without destroying one of the objects involved
1429 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
1430 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
1431 with a finite number of cases
1433 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
1434 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
1436 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
1437 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
1438 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
1439 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
1442 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
1446 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
1447 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
1448 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
1450 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
1452 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
1453 and an API to check them
1455 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
1456 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
1458 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
1459 with most functions, but this is not recommended
1463 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
1464 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
1465 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
1468 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
1469 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
1470 particular directory (akin to 'du').
1472 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
1477 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
1478 allow for regexp matching on streams
1480 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
1481 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
1482 g_variant_new_printf()
1486 - we can now generate TAP output
1488 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
1489 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
1491 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
1496 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

1618 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
1619 ==============================================
1621 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
1622 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
1623 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
1624 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
1626 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
1627 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
1630 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
1632 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
1633 the key was locked down)

1807 ==============================================
1809 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
1810 and a parser API for them is now provided
1812 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for

1874 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
1875 ==============================================
1877 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
1879 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
1880 the destination file
1882 - fix some 'available since' annotations
1884 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

1907 ==============================================
1909 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
1910 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
1911 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
1912 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

1966 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
1967 ==============================================
1969 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
1970 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
1971 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
1972 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
1973 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
1977 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
1978 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient

2002 ==============================================
2004 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
2006 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
2007 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
2009 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
2010 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
2012 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
2025 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
2026 ==============================================
2028 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
2031 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
2032 ready at a specified monotonic time
2034 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
2036 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

2138 * Translation updates:
2153 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
2154 ==============================================
2156 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
2157 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
2158 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
2159 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
2160 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
2162 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
2163 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
2164 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
2165 particular, are incompatible.
2167 * Bugs fixed in this release:

2201 * Translation updates:
2212 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
2213 ==============================================
2215 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
2216 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
2217 causing regressions in applications.
2219 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
2220 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
2221 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
2224 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
2225 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
2226 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
2228 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
2230 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
2232 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
2234 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
2236 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
2238 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
2240 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
2242 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
2244 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
2246 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

2297 ==============================================
2299 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
2300 give feedback if they cause trouble:
2302 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
2303 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
2305 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
2307 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
2309 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
2311 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed

3140 ==============================================
3143 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
3144 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
3145 to an overridden property
3146 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
3147 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
3149 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
3150 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
3152 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

3194 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
3195 ==============================================
3197 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
3198 moved to GtkApplication.
3200 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
3201 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
3202 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
3203 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
3205 * lots of documentation improvements
3207 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
3209 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
3210 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
3212 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
3214 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
3216 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
3218 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
3219 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
3222 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
3223 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

3227 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
3228 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

3231 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
3232 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
3234 * Translations updated:
3238 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
3239 ==============================================
3241 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
3242 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
3243 There have also been many related improvements to action group
3246 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
3247 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
3248 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
3251 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
3252 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
3253 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
3254 through an idle on the context.
3256 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
3257 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
3258 fixes here and there.
3260 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
3261 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
3262 API available outside GLib
3264 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

3305 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
3306 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
3307 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
3309 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
3312 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
3313 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

3328 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
3329 =================================================
3331 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
3332 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
3334 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
3335 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
3336 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
3337 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
3338 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
3339 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
3340 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
3341 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
3342 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
3343 required (and has been deprecated)
3344 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
3345 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
3346 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
3347 without explicit initialisation.
3348 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
3349 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
3350 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
3352 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
3353 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
3354 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
3355 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
3356 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
3357 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
3358 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
3360 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
3361 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
3362 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
3363 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
3364 - GThread is now a refcounted type
3365 - other implementation details changed
3367 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
3368 deprecated/ directory.
3370 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
3371 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
3372 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
3374 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
3375 platform over a year ago).
3377 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
3378 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
3380 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
3381 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
3383 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
3384 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
3385 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
3386 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
3389 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
3390 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
3393 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
3395 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
3396 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
3398 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
3399 in a multi-threaded program
3401 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
3402 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
3405 - drop -uninstalled variants
3406 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
3408 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
3409 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
3410 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
3412 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
3414 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
3415 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
3418 - many code generation updates and improvements
3419 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
3422 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
3423 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
3425 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
3427 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
3430 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
3431 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
3433 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
3434 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
3436 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
3438 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
3442 * Partial list of bugs closed:
3443 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

3869 ==============================================
3871 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
3872 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
3873 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
3874 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
3875 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
3876 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
3878 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
3879 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
3881 * Access to quarks is now lockless
3883 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
3885 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

3936 * Updated translations:
3945 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
3946 ==============================================
3949 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
3950 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
3951 an 'object manager' pattern:
3952 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
3953 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
3954 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
3955 And server-side implementations:
3956 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
3957 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
3958 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
3962 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
3966 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
3967 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
3968 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
3969 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
3972 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
3973 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
3976 * Unix-specific APIs:
3977 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
3978 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
3979 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
3980 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
3981 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
3982 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

4006 * Updated translations
4013 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
4014 ==============================================
4017 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
4018 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
4019 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
4022 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
4023 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
4024 situations has been improved
4027 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
4028 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
4031 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
4032 match strcmp() semantics
4033 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
4034 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
4035 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
4037 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
4038 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
4041 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
4043 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
4045 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
4046 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
4047 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

4378 - Support environment passing
4381 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
4382 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
4384 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
4385 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
4386 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
4390 158725 free linked list with data

4403 * Translation updates:
4409 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
4410 ==============================================
4412 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
4413 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
4415 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
4416 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
4418 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
4420 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
4422 g_settings_get_range
4423 g_settings_range_check
4424 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
4426 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
4427 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
4429 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
4430 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
4432 g_main_context_invoke
4433 g_main_context_invoke_full
4435 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
4436 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
4437 looking for default applications.
4439 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
4440 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
4441 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
4442 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
4444 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
4445 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
4446 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

4705 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4707 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
4708 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
4709 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
4710 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
4713 There have been many other improvements, however:
4716 - vastly improved test coverage
4717 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
4718 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once

4771 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
4772 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
4773 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |

4836 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
4837 =====================================================
4839 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4840 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
4841 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
4842 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
4843 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4846 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
4847 -Bsymbolic-functions
4848 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
4849 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
4850 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
4851 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
4852 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4855 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
4856 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
4857 nobody was doing that.
4858 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
4860 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
4861 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
4863 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
4864 have a serial number
4865 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
4867 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
4869 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
4870 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
4871 has finished running on GDBus services.
4872 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
4873 this due to the obvious race)
4874 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
4875 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
4878 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
4879 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
4880 arguments and different behaviour
4881 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
4882 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
4883 strings instead of utf8 strings
4884 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
4885 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
4886 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
4887 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
4888 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
4889 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
4890 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
4891 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
4892 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
4895 - improved documentation
4896 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
4897 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
4898 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
4899 overridden using <override>.
4900 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
4902 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
4903 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
4904 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
4905 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
4906 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
4907 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
4908 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
4909 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
4910 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
4911 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
4912 being set due to a premature free
4913 - command line tool: bash completion support
4914 - chain up in _finalize
4915 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
4917 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
4918 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
4919 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
4921 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
4922 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
4923 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
4924 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
4925 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
4929 - always intern GBinding prop names
4930 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
4931 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
4932 - GNode docs improvements
4933 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
4934 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
4935 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
4939 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
4940 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
4941 - improved tests for GKeyfile
4942 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
4943 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
4944 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
4945 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
4946 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
4948 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
4949 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
4950 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4951 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
4952 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
4953 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
4954 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
4955 610784 array test failing
4956 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
4957 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

5642 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
5643 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
5644 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
5645 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
5646 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
5647 while loading or saving it.
5648 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
5649 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
5650 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
5653 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
5654 interfaces to dynamic types.
5657 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because

6378 ===================================================
6380 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
6381 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
6382 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and

6384 also uses less memory overall.

6389 that a GError is set or unset
6391 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
6393 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
6394 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
6396 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
6397 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

8013 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
8014 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
8015 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
8017 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
8018 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
8021 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:

8031 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
8032 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
8033 never worked as intended.
8034 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
8035 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
8036 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
8037 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
8038 efficient and scalable implementation.
8039 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
8042 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
8043 unnecessary recursion.

8055 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
8056 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
8057 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
8061 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
8062 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
