722 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
723 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
724 is unavailable or undesired.
726 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
727 glib-networking will also be required.

781 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
782 ==================================
784 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
785 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
786 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
787 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
789 This release corrects only this problem.
791 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
792 ==================================
794 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
795 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
796 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
798 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1144 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1145 ==================================
1147 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1148 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1149 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1150 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1151 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1152 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1154 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1155 have seen major improvements.
1157 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1158 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1159 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1162 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1164 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1166 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1168 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1169 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1170 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1171 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1172 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1173 you use the --strict option.
1175 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1176 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1177 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1179 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1181 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1182 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1183 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1228 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
1229 ===================================
1231 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1232 before the release of 2.44.0.
1234 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1236 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1237 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1238 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1239 default in the next cycle.
1241 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
1243 * new GTask:completed property
1245 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
1246 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()
1249 614684 Make various parts of GObject const-correct
1250 730352 Use inet_pton(), if_nametoindex() and if_indextoname() for newer versions of Windows
1251 733876 Proxy protocol 'http' is not supported.

1285 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
1286 ===================================
1288 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
1289 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1290 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1292 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1293 effective busy state.
1295 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

1318 GInputStream and GOutputStream
1320 * GApplication: new API for marking 'busy' state according to the value
1321 of a boolean property on another object
1323 * GOptionGroup: add binding support (boxed type, annotation fixes, etc.)
1326 739724 Test functions should have async scope
1327 741024 glist: Mention that g_list_length() is bad for checking list emptiness

1342 ==================================
1344 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
1345 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
1346 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
1348 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
1349 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.
1351 * GListModel is a new interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.

1800 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
1801 =====================================================
1803 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
1805 There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
1809 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()
1810 723899 G_DEFINE_TYPE() causes compiler warnings with clang due to foo_get_instance_private
1811 724859 Let the test_wait_until() test also run on non-*nix
1812 724916 gio unmount code makes XFCE's Thunar crash

1828 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
1829 =====================================================
1831 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
1832 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
1833 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
1834 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
1835 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1836 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
1838 New API: g_str_to_ascii()
1841 670144 unconditional use of CLOCK_MONOTONIC is broken

2084 * Translations updates:
2091 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2092 ====================================================
2094 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2096 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2098 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2099 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2102 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2103 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2106 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2108 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2110 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2113 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2114 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2116 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2118 * Applications/Actions
2120 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2121 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2124 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2125 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2127 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2128 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2129 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2130 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2134 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2135 accesses that are performed in common situations
2137 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2138 are installed/removed
2140 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2141 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2143 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2144 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2149 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2151 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2152 that test programs don't pick them up
2154 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2156 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2157 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2158 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2159 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2161 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2162 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2164 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2165 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2166 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2170 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2172 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2174 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2176 Translations updated:
2184 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

2226 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2227 ====================================================
2229 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2233 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2235 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2236 them can restart the application with an action (via
2241 - new API for launching subprocesses
2243 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2245 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2247 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2248 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2250 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2252 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2254 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2255 actions and listing apps and actions
2257 - bash tab completion is supported
2259 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2261 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2262 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2264 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2265 DBusActivatable=true
2267 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2268 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2273 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2275 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2276 class and inotify backend
2278 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2279 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2281 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2286 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2287 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2288 when there are invalid schemas installed
2290 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2294 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2295 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2297 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2300 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2301 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2302 semantics of the interface in each case
2304 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2305 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2307 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2309 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2310 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2311 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2312 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2316 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2319 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2321 * Portability improvements
2323 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2325 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2326 actually support it (like Hurd)
2328 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2330 * Other small API changes/additions
2332 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2333 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2334 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2336 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2338 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2339 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2341 * GMainContext/GSource
2343 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2345 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2346 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2347 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2348 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2349 broken and should probably be fixed.
2351 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2352 require use of a linked list
2356 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2357 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2358 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2360 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2364 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2365 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2366 gphoto, archive, at least).
2368 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2370 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2373 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2374 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2375 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2377 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2379 - many other small fixups (see bug list)

2439 What's new in Glib 2.38
2440 ========================
2442 * Application support
2444 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2445 desktop entry specification
2447 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2448 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2449 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2451 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2452 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2453 to launch other applications
2455 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2456 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2460 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2461 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2462 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2463 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2464 any problems that this may have caused.
2466 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2467 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2468 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2469 (allowing memory savings)
2471 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2472 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2473 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2475 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2476 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2479 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2480 without destroying one of the objects involved
2484 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2485 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2486 with a finite number of cases
2488 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2489 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2491 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2492 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2493 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2494 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2497 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2501 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2502 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2503 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2505 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2507 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2508 and an API to check them
2510 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2511 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2513 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2514 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2518 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2519 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2520 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2523 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2524 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2525 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2527 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2532 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2533 allow for regexp matching on streams
2535 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2536 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2537 g_variant_new_printf()
2541 - we can now generate TAP output
2543 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2544 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2546 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2551 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2677 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2678 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2679 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

2862 ==============================================
2864 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2865 and a parser API for them is now provided
2867 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for

3021 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3022 ==============================================
3024 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3025 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3026 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3027 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3028 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3032 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3033 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3035 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
3036 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
3037 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
3038 * documentation fixes
3039 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
3042 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.
3043 692827 configure test fails for arpa_nameser.h
3044 692829 new Btrfs support causes build failure on Solaris

3056 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
3057 ==============================================
3059 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3061 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3062 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3064 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3065 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3067 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3080 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3081 ==============================================
3083 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3086 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3087 ready at a specified monotonic time
3089 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3091 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
3094 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
3095 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

3193 * Translation updates:
3208 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3209 ==============================================
3211 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3212 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3213 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3214 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3215 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3217 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3218 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3219 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3220 particular, are incompatible.
3222 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3256 * Translation updates:
3267 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3268 ==============================================
3270 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3271 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3272 causing regressions in applications.
3274 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3275 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3276 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3279 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3280 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3281 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3283 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3285 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3287 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3289 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3291 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3293 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3295 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3297 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3299 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3301 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3355 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3357 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3358 automatically disconnected on target object destruction

4249 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4250 ==============================================
4252 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4253 moved to GtkApplication.
4255 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4256 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4257 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4258 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4260 * lots of documentation improvements
4262 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4264 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4265 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4267 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4269 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4271 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4273 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4274 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4277 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4278 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
4279 664699 glib: documentation fixes
4280 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
4281 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
4282 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4283 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
4284 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
4285 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
4286 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
4287 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
4289 * Translations updated:
4293 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4294 ==============================================
4296 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4297 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4298 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4301 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4302 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4303 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4306 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4307 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4308 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4309 through an idle on the context.
4311 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4312 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4313 fixes here and there.
4315 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4316 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4317 API available outside GLib
4319 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4358 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
4360 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4361 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4362 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4364 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4367 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4368 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

4383 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4384 =================================================
4386 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4387 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4389 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4390 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4391 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4392 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4393 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4394 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4395 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4396 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4397 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4398 required (and has been deprecated)
4399 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4400 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4401 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4402 without explicit initialisation.
4403 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4404 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4405 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4407 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4408 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4409 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4410 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4411 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4412 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4413 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4415 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4416 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4417 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4418 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4419 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4420 - other implementation details changed
4422 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4423 deprecated/ directory.
4425 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4426 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4427 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4429 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4430 platform over a year ago).
4432 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4433 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4435 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4436 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4438 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4439 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4440 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4441 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4444 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4445 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4448 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4450 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4451 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4453 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4454 in a multi-threaded program
4456 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4457 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4460 - drop -uninstalled variants
4461 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4463 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4464 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4465 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4467 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4469 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4470 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4473 - many code generation updates and improvements
4474 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4477 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4478 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4480 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4482 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4485 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4486 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4488 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4489 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4491 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4493 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4497 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4498 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

4924 ==============================================
4926 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
4927 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
4928 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
4929 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
4930 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
4931 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
4933 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
4934 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
4936 * Access to quarks is now lockless
4938 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

4991 * Updated translations:
5000 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5001 ==============================================
5004 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5005 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5006 an 'object manager' pattern:
5007 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5008 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5009 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5010 And server-side implementations:
5011 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5012 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5013 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5017 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5021 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5022 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5023 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5024 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5027 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5028 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5031 * Unix-specific APIs:
5032 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5033 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5034 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5035 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5036 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5037 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
5040 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing

5061 * Updated translations
5068 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5069 ==============================================
5072 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5073 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5074 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5077 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5078 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5079 situations has been improved
5082 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5083 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5086 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5087 match strcmp() semantics
5088 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5089 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5090 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5092 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5093 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5096 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5098 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5100 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5101 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5102 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5379 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
5380 ==============================================
5382 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
5383 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
5388 g_get_monotonic_time
5390 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
5393 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
5395 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
5397 g_simple_async_result_take_error
5398 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
5399 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
5401 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
5404 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
5405 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
5406 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
5408 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
5409 g_get_user_runtime_dir
5411 * Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed
5414 620263 Add g_clear_object, g_clear_pointer, g_clear_boxed
5415 633075 update Project Files and sources for MSVC 2008/C89

5420 * Translation updates:
5428 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
5429 ==============================================
5432 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
5433 - Support environment passing
5436 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5437 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5439 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5440 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5441 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5445 158725 free linked list with data
5446 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
5447 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError

5455 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
5456 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
5458 * Translation updates:
5464 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5465 ==============================================
5467 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5468 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5470 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5471 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5473 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5475 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5477 g_settings_get_range
5478 g_settings_range_check
5479 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5481 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5482 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5484 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5485 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5487 g_main_context_invoke
5488 g_main_context_invoke_full
5490 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5491 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5492 looking for default applications.
5494 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5495 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5496 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5497 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5499 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5500 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5501 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5758 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5759 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5760 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5762 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5763 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5764 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5765 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5768 There have been many other improvements, however:
5771 - vastly improved test coverage
5772 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5773 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5774 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

5823 =====================================================
5825 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5826 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5827 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5828 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5829 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5830 | required (and will be along soon). |
5831 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5834 - cleanup automake setup
5835 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
5836 - various docs fixups

5892 =====================================================
5894 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5895 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
5896 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
5897 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
5898 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5901 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
5902 -Bsymbolic-functions
5903 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
5904 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
5905 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
5906 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
5907 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5910 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
5911 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
5912 nobody was doing that.
5913 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
5915 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
5916 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
5918 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
5919 have a serial number
5920 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
5922 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
5924 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
5925 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
5926 has finished running on GDBus services.
5927 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
5928 this due to the obvious race)
5929 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
5930 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
5933 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
5934 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
5935 arguments and different behaviour
5936 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
5937 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
5938 strings instead of utf8 strings
5939 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
5940 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
5941 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
5942 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
5943 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
5944 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
5945 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
5946 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
5947 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
5950 - improved documentation
5951 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
5952 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
5953 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
5954 overridden using <override>.
5955 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
5957 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
5958 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
5959 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
5960 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
5961 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
5962 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
5963 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
5964 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
5965 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
5966 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
5967 being set due to a premature free
5968 - command line tool: bash completion support
5969 - chain up in _finalize
5970 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
5972 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
5973 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
5974 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
5976 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
5977 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
5978 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
5979 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
5980 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
5984 - always intern GBinding prop names
5985 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
5986 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
5987 - GNode docs improvements
5988 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
5989 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
5990 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
5994 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
5995 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
5996 - improved tests for GKeyfile
5997 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
5998 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...

6697 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6698 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6699 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6700 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6701 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6702 while loading or saving it.
6703 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6704 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6705 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6708 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6709 interfaces to dynamic types.
6712 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because

7432 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
7433 ===================================================
7435 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
7436 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
7437 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
7438 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
7439 also uses less memory overall.
7441 * Make g_poll available as public api
7443 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
7444 that a GError is set or unset
7446 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7448 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7449 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7451 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7452 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

9068 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
9069 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
9070 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10

9073 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
9076 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:

9090 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
9091 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
9092 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
9093 efficient and scalable implementation.
9094 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
9097 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
9098 unnecessary recursion.

9103 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
9107 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
9110 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
9111 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
9112 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
9116 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
9117 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
9118 since they are in glib.h
