38 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
39 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
41 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
42 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
43 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
44 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
47 There have been many other improvements, however:
50 - vastly improved test coverage
51 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
52 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once

104 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
105 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
106 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
107 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |

170 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
171 =====================================================
173 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
174 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
175 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
176 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
177 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
180 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
182 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
183 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
184 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
185 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
186 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
189 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
190 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
191 nobody was doing that.
192 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
194 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
195 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
197 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
199 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
201 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
203 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
204 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
205 has finished running on GDBus services.
206 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
207 this due to the obvious race)
208 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
209 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
212 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
213 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
214 arguments and different behaviour
215 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
216 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
217 strings instead of utf8 strings
218 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
219 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
220 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
221 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
222 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
223 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
224 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
225 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
226 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
229 - improved documentation
230 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
231 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
232 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
233 overridden using <override>.
234 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
236 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
237 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
238 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
239 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
240 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
241 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
242 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
243 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
244 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
245 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
246 being set due to a premature free
247 - command line tool: bash completion support
248 - chain up in _finalize
249 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
251 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
252 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
253 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
255 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
256 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
257 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
258 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
259 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
263 - always intern GBinding prop names
264 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
265 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
266 - GNode docs improvements
267 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
268 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
269 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
273 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check

275 - improved tests for GKeyfile
276 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
277 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
278 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
279 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
280 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
282 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
283 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
284 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
285 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
286 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
287 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
288 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
289 610784 array test failing
290 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
291 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

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

1715 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

1718 also uses less memory overall.

1723 that a GError is set or unset
1725 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
1727 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
1728 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
1730 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
1731 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

3345 =================================================
3347 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
3348 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
3349 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
3351 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
3352 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
3355 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:

3369 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
3370 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
3371 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
3372 efficient and scalable implementation.
3373 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
3376 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
3377 unnecessary recursion.

3382 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
3386 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
3389 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
3390 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
3391 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
3395 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
3396 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
3397 since they are in glib.h
