706 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
707 ==================================
709 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
710 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
711 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
712 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
714 This release corrects only this problem.
716 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
717 ==================================
719 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
720 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
721 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
723 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1069 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1070 ==================================
1072 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1073 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1074 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1075 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1076 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1077 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1079 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1080 have seen major improvements.
1082 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1083 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1084 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1087 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1089 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1091 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1093 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1094 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1095 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1096 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1097 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1098 you use the --strict option.
1100 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1101 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1102 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1104 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1106 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1107 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1108 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1154 ===================================
1156 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1157 before the release of 2.44.0.
1159 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1161 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1162 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1163 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1164 default in the next cycle.
1166 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

1214 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1215 scope (working only on GCC and clang).

1266 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.4
1267 ==================================
1269 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
1270 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
1271 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
1273 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
1274 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.
1276 * GListModel is a new interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.
1278 * GListStore is a GSequence-based implementation of GListModel.
1280 * Support thread names on OS X

1756 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
1757 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
1758 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
1759 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
1760 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1761 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2016 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2017 ====================================================
2019 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2021 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2023 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2024 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2027 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2028 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2031 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2033 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2035 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2038 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2039 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2041 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2043 * Applications/Actions
2045 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2046 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2049 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2050 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2052 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2053 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2054 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2055 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2059 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2060 accesses that are performed in common situations
2062 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2063 are installed/removed
2065 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2066 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2068 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2069 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2074 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2076 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2077 that test programs don't pick them up
2079 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2081 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2082 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2083 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2084 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2086 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2087 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2089 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2090 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2091 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2095 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2097 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2099 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2101 Translations updated:
2109 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

2120 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
2121 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

2151 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2152 ====================================================
2154 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2158 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2160 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2161 them can restart the application with an action (via
2166 - new API for launching subprocesses
2168 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2170 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2172 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2173 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2175 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2177 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2179 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2180 actions and listing apps and actions
2182 - bash tab completion is supported
2184 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2186 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2187 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2189 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2190 DBusActivatable=true
2192 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2193 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2198 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2200 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2201 class and inotify backend
2203 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2204 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2206 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2211 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2212 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2213 when there are invalid schemas installed
2215 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2219 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2220 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2222 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2225 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2226 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2227 semantics of the interface in each case
2229 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2230 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2232 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2234 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2235 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2236 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2237 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2241 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2244 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2246 * Portability improvements
2248 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2250 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2251 actually support it (like Hurd)
2253 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2255 * Other small API changes/additions
2257 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2258 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2259 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2261 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2263 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2264 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2266 * GMainContext/GSource
2268 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2270 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2271 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2272 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2273 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2274 broken and should probably be fixed.
2276 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2277 require use of a linked list
2281 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2282 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2283 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2285 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2289 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2290 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2291 gphoto, archive, at least).
2293 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2295 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2298 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2299 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2300 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2302 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2304 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2306 * Many documentation improvements
2309 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2310 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2311 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

2364 What's new in Glib 2.38
2365 ========================
2367 * Application support
2369 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2370 desktop entry specification
2372 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2373 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2374 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2376 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2377 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2378 to launch other applications
2380 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2381 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2385 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2386 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2387 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2388 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2389 any problems that this may have caused.
2391 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2392 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2393 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2394 (allowing memory savings)
2396 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2397 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2398 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2400 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2401 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2404 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2405 without destroying one of the objects involved
2409 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2410 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2411 with a finite number of cases
2413 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2414 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2416 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2417 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2418 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2419 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2422 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2426 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2427 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2428 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2430 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2432 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2433 and an API to check them
2435 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2436 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2438 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2439 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2443 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2444 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2445 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2448 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2449 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2450 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2452 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2457 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2458 allow for regexp matching on streams
2460 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2461 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2462 g_variant_new_printf()
2466 - we can now generate TAP output
2468 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2469 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2471 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2476 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2599 ==============================================
2601 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2602 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2603 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2604 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
2606 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
2607 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when

2745 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
2747 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
2749 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
2751 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
2752 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
2753 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.

2786 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
2787 ==============================================
2789 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2790 and a parser API for them is now provided
2792 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2793 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
2794 instance because a long-running operation is pending.
2796 * GLib can now be built with the bionic C library

2887 ==============================================
2889 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
2890 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly

2946 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
2947 ==============================================
2949 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
2950 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
2951 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
2952 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
2953 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
2957 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
2958 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
2960 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
2961 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
2962 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
2963 * documentation fixes
2964 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
2967 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

2981 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
2982 ==============================================
2984 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
2986 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
2987 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
2989 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
2990 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
2992 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3005 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3006 ==============================================
3008 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3011 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3012 ready at a specified monotonic time
3014 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3016 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

3118 * Translation updates:
3133 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3134 ==============================================
3136 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3137 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3138 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3139 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3140 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3142 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3143 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3144 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3145 particular, are incompatible.
3147 * Bugs fixed in this release:
3148 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants

3192 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3193 ==============================================
3195 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3196 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3197 causing regressions in applications.
3199 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3200 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3201 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3204 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3205 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3206 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3208 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3210 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3212 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3214 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3216 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3218 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3220 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3222 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3224 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3226 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3276 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
3277 ==============================================
3279 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3280 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3282 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3283 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3285 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3287 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
3289 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
3291 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
3293 * GLib version macros updated
3295 * Update to Unicode 6.2

3645 Overview of changes from GLib 2.33.2 to 2.33.3
3646 ==============================================
3648 This release contains mostly bugfixes, cleanups and performance
3649 improvements (including many fixes contributed by Colin on the advice of
3650 Coverity). There are a few notable externally-visible changes:
3652 * Thumbnails are now in XDG_CACHE_HOME
3654 * new GDBus API: per-thread g_dbus_connection_get_last_serial()

4123 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4124 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4125 to an overridden property
4126 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4127 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4129 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4130 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

4174 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4175 ==============================================
4177 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4178 moved to GtkApplication.
4180 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4181 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4182 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4183 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4185 * lots of documentation improvements
4187 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4189 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4190 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4192 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4194 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4196 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4198 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4199 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4202 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4203 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4207 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4208 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

4214 * Translations updated:
4218 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4219 ==============================================
4221 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4222 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4223 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4226 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4227 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4228 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4231 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4232 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4233 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4234 through an idle on the context.
4236 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4237 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4238 fixes here and there.
4240 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4241 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4242 API available outside GLib
4244 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4278 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.0 to 2.31.2
4279 ==============================================
4281 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
4283 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
4285 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4286 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4287 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4289 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4292 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4293 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
4294 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
4297 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
4298 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
4301 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
4304 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
4305 - various GIO file and stream fixes
4306 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
4308 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4309 =================================================
4311 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4312 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4314 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4315 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4316 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4317 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4318 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4319 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4320 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4321 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4322 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4323 required (and has been deprecated)
4324 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4325 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4326 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4327 without explicit initialisation.
4328 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4329 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4330 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4332 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4333 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4334 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4335 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4336 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4337 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4338 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4340 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4341 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4342 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4343 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4344 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4345 - other implementation details changed
4347 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4348 deprecated/ directory.
4350 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4351 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4352 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4354 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4355 platform over a year ago).
4357 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4358 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4360 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4361 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4363 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4364 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4365 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4366 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4369 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4370 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4373 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4375 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4376 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4378 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4379 in a multi-threaded program
4381 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4382 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4385 - drop -uninstalled variants
4386 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4388 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4389 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4390 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4392 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4394 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4395 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4398 - many code generation updates and improvements
4399 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4402 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4403 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4405 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4407 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4410 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4411 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4413 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4414 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4416 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4418 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4422 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4423 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

4848 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
4849 ==============================================
4851 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
4852 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
4853 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
4854 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
4855 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
4856 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
4858 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
4859 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
4861 * Access to quarks is now lockless
4863 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
4865 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
4867 * Introspection improvements:

4916 * Updated translations:
4925 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
4926 ==============================================
4929 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
4930 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
4931 an 'object manager' pattern:
4932 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
4933 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
4934 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
4935 And server-side implementations:
4936 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
4937 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
4938 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
4942 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
4946 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
4947 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
4948 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
4949 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
4952 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
4953 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
4956 * Unix-specific APIs:
4957 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
4958 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
4959 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
4960 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
4961 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
4962 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

4978 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
4979 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
4980 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
4981 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

4984 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
4986 * Updated translations
4993 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
4994 ==============================================
4997 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
4998 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
4999 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5002 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5003 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5004 situations has been improved
5007 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5008 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5011 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5012 match strcmp() semantics
5013 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5014 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5015 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5017 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5018 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5021 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5023 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5025 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5026 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5027 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5396 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5398 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5400 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5402 g_settings_get_range
5403 g_settings_range_check
5404 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5406 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5407 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5409 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5410 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5412 g_main_context_invoke
5413 g_main_context_invoke_full
5415 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5416 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5417 looking for default applications.
5419 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5420 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5421 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5422 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5424 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5425 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5426 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5681 =====================================================
5683 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5684 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5685 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5687 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5688 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5689 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5690 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5693 There have been many other improvements, however:
5696 - vastly improved test coverage
5697 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5698 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5699 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

5748 =====================================================
5750 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5751 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5752 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5753 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5754 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5755 | required (and will be along soon). |
5756 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5759 - cleanup automake setup
5760 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
5761 - various docs fixups
5762 - move glibconfig.h to glib/
5763 - disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace')

5768 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
5769 - add g_settings_reset()
5770 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
5773 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

5775 - proper support for file descriptor passing
5776 - new flags parameter for sending messages
5777 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
5778 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
5779 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
5780 - constness fixes for introspection structures
5781 - clean ups to subtree registration API
5784 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

5787 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
5788 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
5789 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
5792 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
5793 617483 Credentials passing
5794 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property

5817 =====================================================
5819 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5820 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
5821 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
5822 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
5823 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5826 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
5827 -Bsymbolic-functions
5828 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
5829 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
5830 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
5831 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
5832 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5835 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
5836 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
5837 nobody was doing that.
5838 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
5840 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
5841 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
5843 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
5844 have a serial number
5845 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
5847 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
5849 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
5850 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
5851 has finished running on GDBus services.
5852 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
5853 this due to the obvious race)
5854 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
5855 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
5858 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
5859 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
5860 arguments and different behaviour
5861 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
5862 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
5863 strings instead of utf8 strings
5864 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
5865 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
5866 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
5867 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
5868 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
5869 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
5870 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
5871 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
5872 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
5875 - improved documentation
5876 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
5877 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
5878 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
5879 overridden using <override>.
5880 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
5882 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
5883 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
5884 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
5885 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
5886 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
5887 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
5888 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
5889 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
5890 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
5891 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
5892 being set due to a premature free
5893 - command line tool: bash completion support
5894 - chain up in _finalize
5895 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
5897 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
5898 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
5899 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
5901 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
5902 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
5903 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
5904 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
5905 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
5909 - always intern GBinding prop names
5910 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
5911 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
5912 - GNode docs improvements
5913 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
5914 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
5915 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
5919 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
5920 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
5921 - improved tests for GKeyfile
5922 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
5923 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
5924 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
5925 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
5926 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
5928 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
5929 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
5930 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5931 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
5932 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n

6619 ===================================================
6622 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6623 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6624 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6625 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6626 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6627 while loading or saving it.
6628 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6629 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6630 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6633 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6634 interfaces to dynamic types.
6637 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
6638 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
6639 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

7357 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
7358 ===================================================
7360 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
7361 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
7362 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
7363 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
7364 also uses less memory overall.
7366 * Make g_poll available as public api
7368 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
7369 that a GError is set or unset
7371 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7373 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7374 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7376 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7377 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

9037 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
9041 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
9042 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
