1 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
2 ==============================================
4 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
5 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
12 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
15 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
17 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
19 g_simple_async_result_take_error
20 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
21 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
23 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
26 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
27 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
28 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
30 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
31 g_get_user_runtime_dir
33 * Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed
36 620263 Add g_clear_object, g_clear_pointer, g_clear_boxed
37 633075 update Project Files and sources for MSVC 2008/C89
38 633381 gsettings Makefile rules should handle empty list...
39 633685 Use g_simple_async_result_{new_,}take_error
40 633686 Add g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
42 * Translation updates:
50 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
51 ==============================================
54 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
55 - Support environment passing
58 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
59 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
61 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
62 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
63 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
67 158725 free linked list with data
68 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
69 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError
70 629274 GNetworkService does not do fallback when there is no SRV record
71 631264 gsettings-tool choice/range support
72 631482 g_date_time_from_instant: 1000000000000000000
73 632169 docs for manual use of gsettings-data-convert
74 632571 Add equivalent to gconftool-2's -R option
75 633115 GSettings m4 doesn't fail the build for broken schemas
76 633206 Default g_application_local_command_line() doesn't set exit_status...
77 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
78 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
80 * Translation updates:
86 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
87 ==============================================
89 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
90 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
92 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
93 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
95 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
97 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
100 g_settings_range_check
101 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
103 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
104 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
106 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
107 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
109 g_main_context_invoke
110 g_main_context_invoke_full
112 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
113 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
114 looking for default applications.
116 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
117 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
118 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
119 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
121 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
122 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
123 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
126 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe
127 618737 "dispatch to context" functionality
128 620710 g_get_user_data_dir() uses CSIDL_PERSONAL and not CSIDL_APPDATA

130 627126 gsettings schema files don't get installed on FreeBSD
131 627171 g_socket_new_from_fd() doesn't set the right protocol
132 628876 Wrong error description
133 628937 gracefully handle broken schemas
134 629274 GNetworkService doesn't fallback when there is no SRV record
135 629289 g_error() used wrong, produces core dump

380 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
381 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
382 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
384 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
385 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
386 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
387 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
390 There have been many other improvements, however:
393 - vastly improved test coverage
394 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
395 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
396 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

447 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
448 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
449 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
450 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
451 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |

513 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
514 =====================================================
516 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
517 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
518 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
519 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
520 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
523 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
525 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
526 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
527 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
528 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
529 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
532 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
533 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
534 nobody was doing that.
535 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
537 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
538 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
540 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
542 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
544 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
546 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
547 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
548 has finished running on GDBus services.
549 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
550 this due to the obvious race)
551 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
552 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
555 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
556 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
557 arguments and different behaviour
558 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
559 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
560 strings instead of utf8 strings
561 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
562 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
563 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
564 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
565 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
566 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
567 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
568 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
569 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
572 - improved documentation
573 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
574 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
575 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
576 overridden using <override>.
577 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
579 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
580 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
581 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
582 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
583 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
584 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
585 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
586 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
587 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
588 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
589 being set due to a premature free
590 - command line tool: bash completion support
591 - chain up in _finalize
592 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
594 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
595 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
596 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
598 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
599 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
600 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
601 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
602 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
606 - always intern GBinding prop names
607 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
608 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
609 - GNode docs improvements
610 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
611 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
612 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
616 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
617 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
618 - improved tests for GKeyfile
619 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
620 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
621 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
622 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
623 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
625 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
626 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
627 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
628 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
629 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
630 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
631 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
632 610784 array test failing
633 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
634 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

1316 ===================================================
1319 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
1320 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
1321 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
1322 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
1323 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
1324 while loading or saving it.
1325 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
1326 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
1327 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
1330 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
1331 interfaces to dynamic types.
1334 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
1335 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
1336 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

2054 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
2055 ===================================================
2057 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
2058 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
2059 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
2060 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
2061 also uses less memory overall.
2063 * Make g_poll available as public api
2065 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
2066 that a GError is set or unset
2068 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
2070 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
2071 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
2073 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
2074 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

3734 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
3738 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
3739 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
