31 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
33 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
34 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,

374 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
378 158725 free linked list with data

400 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
401 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
403 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
404 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
406 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
408 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
411 g_settings_range_check
412 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
414 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
415 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
417 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
418 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
420 g_main_context_invoke
421 g_main_context_invoke_full
423 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
424 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
425 looking for default applications.
427 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
428 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
429 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
430 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
432 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
433 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
434 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

695 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
696 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
697 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
698 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
701 There have been many other improvements, however:
704 - vastly improved test coverage
705 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
706 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
707 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
710 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
713 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
714 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
715 - improve debug output, add some extra options
716 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message

758 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
759 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
760 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
761 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |

824 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
825 =====================================================
827 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
828 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
829 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
830 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
831 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
834 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
836 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
837 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
838 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
839 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
840 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
843 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
844 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
845 nobody was doing that.
846 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
848 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
849 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
851 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
853 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
855 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
857 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
858 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
859 has finished running on GDBus services.
860 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
861 this due to the obvious race)
862 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
863 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
866 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
867 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
868 arguments and different behaviour
869 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
870 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
871 strings instead of utf8 strings
872 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
873 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
874 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
875 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
876 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
877 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
878 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
879 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
880 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
883 - improved documentation
884 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
885 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
886 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
887 overridden using <override>.
888 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
890 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
891 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
892 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
893 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
894 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
895 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
896 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
897 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
898 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
899 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
900 being set due to a premature free
901 - command line tool: bash completion support
902 - chain up in _finalize
903 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
905 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
906 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
907 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
909 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
910 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
911 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
912 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
913 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
917 - always intern GBinding prop names
918 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
919 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
920 - GNode docs improvements
921 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
922 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
923 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using

931 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
932 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
933 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
934 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
936 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
937 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
938 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
939 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
940 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
941 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
942 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
943 610784 array test failing
944 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation

1637 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
1638 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
1641 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
1642 interfaces to dynamic types.

3999 =================================================
4001 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
4002 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
4003 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
4005 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
4006 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
4009 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:

4023 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
4024 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
4025 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
4026 efficient and scalable implementation.
4027 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
4030 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
4031 unnecessary recursion.

4036 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
4040 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
4043 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
4044 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
4045 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
4049 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
4050 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
4051 since they are in glib.h
