630 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
631 ==================================
633 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
634 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
635 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
636 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
638 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
639 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
640 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
642 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
643 environment variable.
645 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
646 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this
649 665446 Use g_abort() instead of abort()

806 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
807 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
808 is unavailable or undesired.
810 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

865 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
866 ==================================
868 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
869 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
870 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
871 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
873 This release corrects only this problem.
875 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
876 ==================================
878 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
879 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
880 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
882 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1228 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1229 ==================================
1231 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1232 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1233 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1234 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1235 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1236 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1238 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1239 have seen major improvements.
1241 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1242 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1243 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1246 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1248 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1250 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1252 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1253 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1254 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1255 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1256 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1257 you use the --strict option.
1259 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1260 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1261 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1263 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1265 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1266 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1267 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1312 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
1313 ===================================
1315 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1316 before the release of 2.44.0.
1318 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1320 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1321 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1322 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1323 default in the next cycle.
1325 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
1327 * new GTask:completed property
1329 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
1330 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

1370 ===================================
1372 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
1373 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1374 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1376 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1377 effective busy state.

1804 * Many bugfixes found by static analysis, including potential fd leaks
1805 and NULL pointer dereferences.
1807 * Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
1808 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).
1810 * use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn handling of desktop
1811 files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env()
1813 * add support for g_desktop_app_info_get_implementations() to find
1814 desktop files that have an Implements= line for a given interface
1816 * GHmac has gained SHA-512 support
1818 * support the new mimeapps specification (most notably, moving the
1819 assoications/defaults configuration to ~/.config/mimeapps.list).
1821 * libgobject is now linked -Wl,-z,nodelete when possible to avoid errors
1822 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself
1823 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded
1825 * ... and many other bug fixes.

1918 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
1919 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1920 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2175 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2176 ====================================================
2178 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2180 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2182 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2183 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2186 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2187 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2190 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2192 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2194 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2197 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2198 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2200 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2202 * Applications/Actions
2204 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2205 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2208 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2209 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2211 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2212 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2213 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2214 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2218 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2219 accesses that are performed in common situations
2221 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2222 are installed/removed
2224 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2225 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2227 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2228 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2233 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2235 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2236 that test programs don't pick them up
2238 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2240 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2241 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2242 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2243 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2245 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2246 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2248 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2249 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2250 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2254 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2256 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2258 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2260 Translations updated:

2313 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2317 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2319 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2320 them can restart the application with an action (via
2325 - new API for launching subprocesses
2327 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2329 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2331 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2332 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2334 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2336 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2338 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2339 actions and listing apps and actions
2341 - bash tab completion is supported
2343 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2345 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2346 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2348 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2349 DBusActivatable=true
2351 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2352 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2357 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2359 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2360 class and inotify backend
2362 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2363 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2365 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2370 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2371 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2372 when there are invalid schemas installed
2374 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2378 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2379 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2381 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2384 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2385 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2386 semantics of the interface in each case
2388 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2389 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2391 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2393 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2394 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2395 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2396 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2400 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2403 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2405 * Portability improvements
2407 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2409 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2410 actually support it (like Hurd)
2412 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2414 * Other small API changes/additions
2416 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2417 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2418 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2420 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2422 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2423 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2425 * GMainContext/GSource
2427 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2429 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2430 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2431 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2432 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2433 broken and should probably be fixed.
2435 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2436 require use of a linked list
2440 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2441 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2442 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2444 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2448 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2449 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2450 gphoto, archive, at least).
2452 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2454 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2457 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2458 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2459 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2461 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2463 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2465 * Many documentation improvements

2523 What's new in Glib 2.38
2524 ========================
2526 * Application support
2528 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2529 desktop entry specification
2531 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2532 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2533 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2535 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2536 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2537 to launch other applications
2539 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2540 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2544 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2545 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2546 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2547 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2548 any problems that this may have caused.
2550 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2551 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2552 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2553 (allowing memory savings)
2555 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2556 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2557 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2559 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2560 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2563 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2564 without destroying one of the objects involved
2568 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2569 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2570 with a finite number of cases
2572 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2573 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2575 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2576 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2577 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2578 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2581 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2585 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2586 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2587 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2589 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2591 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2592 and an API to check them
2594 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2595 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2597 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2598 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2602 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2603 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2604 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2607 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2608 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2609 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2611 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2616 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2617 allow for regexp matching on streams
2619 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2620 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2621 g_variant_new_printf()
2625 - we can now generate TAP output
2627 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2628 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2630 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2635 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2758 ==============================================
2760 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2761 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2762 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2763 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
2765 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
2766 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
2769 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
2771 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because

2854 ==============================================
2856 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
2857 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
2859 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
2860 and will trigger a warning.
2863 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

2904 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
2906 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
2908 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
2910 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

2946 ==============================================
2948 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2949 and a parser API for them is now provided
2951 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2952 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
2953 instance because a long-running operation is pending.
2955 * GLib can now be built with the bionic C library

3013 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
3014 ==============================================
3016 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
3018 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
3019 the destination file
3021 - fix some 'available since' annotations
3023 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

3045 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
3046 ==============================================
3048 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3049 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3050 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3051 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3105 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3106 ==============================================
3108 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3109 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3110 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3111 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3112 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3116 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3117 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3119 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
3120 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
3121 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
3122 * documentation fixes
3123 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
3126 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

3140 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
3141 ==============================================
3143 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3145 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3146 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3148 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3149 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3151 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3164 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3165 ==============================================
3167 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3170 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3171 ready at a specified monotonic time
3173 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3175 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
3178 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
3179 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

3277 * Translation updates:
3292 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3293 ==============================================
3295 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3296 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3297 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3298 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3299 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3301 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3302 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3303 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3304 particular, are incompatible.
3306 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3340 * Translation updates:
3351 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3352 ==============================================
3354 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3355 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3356 causing regressions in applications.
3358 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3359 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3360 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3363 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3364 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3365 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3367 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3369 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3371 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3373 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3375 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3377 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3379 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3381 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3383 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3385 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3436 ==============================================
3438 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3439 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3441 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3442 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3444 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3446 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
3448 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
3450 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
3452 * GLib version macros updated
3454 * Update to Unicode 6.2

4279 ==============================================
4282 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4283 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4284 to an overridden property
4285 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4286 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4288 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4289 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

4333 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4334 ==============================================
4336 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4337 moved to GtkApplication.
4339 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4340 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4341 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4342 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4344 * lots of documentation improvements
4346 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4348 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4349 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4351 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4353 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4355 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4357 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4358 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4361 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4362 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
4363 664699 glib: documentation fixes

4366 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4367 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
4368 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
4369 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
4370 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
4371 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
4373 * Translations updated:
4377 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4378 ==============================================
4380 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4381 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4382 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4385 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4386 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4387 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4390 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4391 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4392 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4393 through an idle on the context.
4395 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4396 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4397 fixes here and there.
4399 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4400 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4401 API available outside GLib
4403 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4442 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
4444 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4445 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4446 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4448 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4451 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4452 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
4453 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
4456 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
4457 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

4464 - various GIO file and stream fixes
4465 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
4467 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4468 =================================================
4470 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4471 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4473 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4474 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4475 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4476 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4477 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4478 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4479 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4480 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4481 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4482 required (and has been deprecated)
4483 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4484 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4485 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4486 without explicit initialisation.
4487 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4488 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4489 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4491 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4492 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4493 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4494 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4495 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4496 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4497 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4499 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4500 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4501 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4502 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4503 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4504 - other implementation details changed
4506 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4507 deprecated/ directory.
4509 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4510 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4511 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4513 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4514 platform over a year ago).
4516 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4517 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4519 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4520 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4522 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4523 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4524 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4525 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4528 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4529 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4532 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4534 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4535 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4537 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4538 in a multi-threaded program
4540 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4541 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4544 - drop -uninstalled variants
4545 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4547 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4548 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4549 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4551 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4553 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4554 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4557 - many code generation updates and improvements
4558 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4561 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4562 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4564 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4566 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4569 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4570 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4572 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4573 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4575 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4577 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4581 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4582 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5008 ==============================================
5010 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5011 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5012 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5013 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5014 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5015 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5017 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5018 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5020 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5022 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

5075 * Updated translations:
5084 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5085 ==============================================
5088 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5089 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5090 an 'object manager' pattern:
5091 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5092 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5093 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5094 And server-side implementations:
5095 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5096 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5097 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5101 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5105 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5106 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5107 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5108 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5111 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5112 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5115 * Unix-specific APIs:
5116 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5117 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5118 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5119 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5120 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5121 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5152 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5153 ==============================================
5156 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5157 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5158 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5161 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5162 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5163 situations has been improved
5166 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5167 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5170 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5171 match strcmp() semantics
5172 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5173 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5174 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5176 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5177 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5180 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5182 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5184 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5185 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5186 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5517 - Support environment passing
5520 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5521 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5523 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5524 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5525 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5529 158725 free linked list with data

5542 * Translation updates:
5548 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5549 ==============================================
5551 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5552 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5554 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5555 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5557 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5559 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5561 g_settings_get_range
5562 g_settings_range_check
5563 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5565 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5566 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5568 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5569 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5571 g_main_context_invoke
5572 g_main_context_invoke_full
5574 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5575 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5576 looking for default applications.
5578 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5579 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5580 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5581 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5583 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5584 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5585 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5843 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5844 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5846 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5847 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5848 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5849 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5852 There have been many other improvements, however:
5855 - vastly improved test coverage
5856 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5857 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5858 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

5876 without mapping functions
5877 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
5880 - improve closure support for bindings

5907 =====================================================
5909 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5910 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5911 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5912 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5913 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5914 | required (and will be along soon). |
5915 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5918 - cleanup automake setup
5919 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
5920 - various docs fixups
5921 - move glibconfig.h to glib/
5922 - disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace')
5925 - add support for vendor override files (to change the default values
5927 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
5928 - add g_settings_reset()
5929 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
5932 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
5933 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
5934 - proper support for file descriptor passing
5935 - new flags parameter for sending messages
5936 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
5937 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
5938 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
5939 - constness fixes for introspection structures
5940 - clean ups to subtree registration API
5943 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions
5944 - GIO: don't blindly assume that SOCK_CLOEXEC is supported
5945 - make GObject property notify freezes threadsafe
5946 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
5947 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
5948 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
5951 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
5952 617483 Credentials passing
5953 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property

5976 =====================================================
5978 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5979 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
5980 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
5981 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
5982 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5985 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
5986 -Bsymbolic-functions
5987 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
5988 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
5989 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
5990 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
5991 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5994 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
5995 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
5996 nobody was doing that.
5997 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
5999 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6000 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6002 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6003 have a serial number
6004 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6006 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6008 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6009 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6010 has finished running on GDBus services.
6011 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6012 this due to the obvious race)
6013 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6014 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6017 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6018 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6019 arguments and different behaviour
6020 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6021 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6022 strings instead of utf8 strings
6023 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6024 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6025 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6026 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6027 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6028 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6029 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6030 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6031 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6034 - improved documentation
6035 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6036 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6037 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6038 overridden using <override>.
6039 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6041 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6042 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6043 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6044 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6045 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6046 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6047 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6048 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6049 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6050 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6051 being set due to a premature free
6052 - command line tool: bash completion support
6053 - chain up in _finalize
6054 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6056 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6057 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6058 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6060 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6061 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6062 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6063 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6064 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6068 - always intern GBinding prop names
6069 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6070 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6071 - GNode docs improvements
6072 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6073 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6074 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
6078 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
6079 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6080 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6081 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6082 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6083 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6084 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6085 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6087 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6088 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()

6090 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6091 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
6092 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
6093 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

6778 ===================================================
6781 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6782 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6783 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6784 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6785 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6786 while loading or saving it.
6787 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6788 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6789 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6792 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6793 interfaces to dynamic types.
6796 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
6797 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

7516 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
7517 ===================================================
7519 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
7520 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
7521 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
7522 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
7523 also uses less memory overall.
7525 * Make g_poll available as public api
7527 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
7528 that a GError is set or unset
7530 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7532 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7533 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7535 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7536 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

9168 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
9169 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
9170 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
9171 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
9172 never worked as intended.
9173 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
9174 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
9175 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
9176 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
9177 efficient and scalable implementation.
9178 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
9181 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
9182 unnecessary recursion.

9194 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
9195 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
9196 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
9200 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
9201 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
9202 since they are in glib.h
