414 - Support environment passing
417 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
418 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values

421 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
422 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
426 158725 free linked list with data

448 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
449 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
451 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
452 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
454 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
456 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
459 g_settings_range_check
460 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
462 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
463 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
465 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
466 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
468 g_main_context_invoke
469 g_main_context_invoke_full
471 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
472 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
473 looking for default applications.
475 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
476 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
477 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
478 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
480 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
481 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
482 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

737 =====================================================
739 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
740 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
741 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
743 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
744 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
745 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
746 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
749 There have been many other improvements, however:
752 - vastly improved test coverage
753 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
754 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
755 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
758 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
761 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
762 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
763 - improve debug output, add some extra options

804 =====================================================
806 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
807 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
808 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
809 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
810 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
811 | required (and will be along soon). |
812 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

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

979 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
980 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
981 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
982 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
984 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
985 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
986 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
987 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
988 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
989 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
990 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
991 610784 array test failing
992 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation

1685 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
1686 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
1689 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
1690 interfaces to dynamic types.

2417 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
2418 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and

2420 also uses less memory overall.

2424 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
2425 that a GError is set or unset
2427 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
2429 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
2430 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
2432 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
2433 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

4047 =================================================
4049 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
4050 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
4051 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
4053 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
4054 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
4057 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:

4074 efficient and scalable implementation.
4075 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
4078 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
4079 unnecessary recursion.

4084 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
4088 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
4091 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
4092 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
4093 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
4097 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
4098 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
4099 since they are in glib.h
