448 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
449 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
450 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
451 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
452 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
453 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

708 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
709 ====================================================
711 * GSettings fixes/improvements
713 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
715 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
716 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
719 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
720 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
723 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
725 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
727 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
730 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
731 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
733 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
735 * Applications/Actions
737 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
738 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
741 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
742 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
744 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
745 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
746 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
747 not itself at fault for the errant call)
751 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
752 accesses that are performed in common situations
754 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
755 are installed/removed
757 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
758 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
760 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
761 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
766 - ignore qualified tags, as above
768 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
769 that test programs don't pick them up
771 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
773 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
774 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
775 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
776 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
778 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
779 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
781 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
782 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
783 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
787 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
789 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
791 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
793 Translations updated:
801 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes
802 637257 g_tls_client_connection_gnutls_retrieve_function needs to be able to block
803 637956 GKeyfileSettingsBackend should ignore file deletions
804 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
805 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
806 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
807 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is

812 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
813 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

841 711808 gtestdbus: Fix leak of GMainLoop
843 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
844 ====================================================
846 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
850 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
852 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
853 them can restart the application with an action (via
858 - new API for launching subprocesses
860 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
862 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
864 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
865 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
867 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
869 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
871 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
872 actions and listing apps and actions
874 - bash tab completion is supported
876 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
878 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
879 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
881 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
884 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
885 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
890 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
892 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
893 class and inotify backend
895 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
896 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
898 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
903 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
904 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
905 when there are invalid schemas installed
907 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
911 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
912 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
914 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
917 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
918 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
919 semantics of the interface in each case
921 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
922 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
924 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
926 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
927 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
928 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
929 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
933 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
936 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
938 * Portability improvements
940 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
942 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
943 actually support it (like Hurd)
945 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
947 * Other small API changes/additions
949 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
950 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
951 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
953 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
955 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
958 * GMainContext/GSource
960 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
962 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
963 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
964 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
965 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
966 broken and should probably be fixed.
968 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
969 require use of a linked list
973 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
974 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
975 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
977 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
981 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
982 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
983 gphoto, archive, at least).
985 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
987 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
990 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
991 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
992 (which shared exactly the same bug)
994 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
996 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
998 * Many documentation improvements
1001 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing

1056 What's new in Glib 2.38
1057 ========================
1059 * Application support
1061 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
1062 desktop entry specification
1064 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
1065 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
1066 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
1068 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
1069 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
1070 to launch other applications
1072 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
1073 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
1077 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
1078 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
1079 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
1080 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
1081 any problems that this may have caused.
1083 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
1084 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
1085 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
1086 (allowing memory savings)
1088 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
1089 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
1090 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
1092 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
1093 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
1096 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
1097 without destroying one of the objects involved
1101 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
1102 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
1103 with a finite number of cases
1105 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
1106 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
1108 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
1109 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
1110 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
1111 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
1114 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
1118 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
1119 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
1120 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
1122 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
1124 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
1125 and an API to check them
1127 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
1128 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
1130 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
1131 with most functions, but this is not recommended
1135 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
1136 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
1137 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
1140 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
1141 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
1142 particular directory (akin to 'du').
1144 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
1149 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
1150 allow for regexp matching on streams
1152 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
1153 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
1154 g_variant_new_printf()
1158 - we can now generate TAP output
1160 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
1161 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
1163 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
1168 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

1291 ==============================================
1293 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
1294 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
1295 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
1296 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
1298 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
1299 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
1302 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
1304 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
1305 the key was locked down)
1307 * Miscellaneous new api:
1308 - g_variant_new_printf

1367 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
1368 build the unmodified source
1370 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
1372 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
1373 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
1374 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
1381 698375 - D-Bus async properties

1387 ==============================================
1389 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
1390 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
1392 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
1393 and will trigger a warning.
1396 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

1431 ==============================================
1433 * add support for installed tests:
1434 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
1436 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
1437 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
1439 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
1441 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
1443 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
1444 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
1445 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
1447 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

1479 ==============================================
1481 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
1482 and a parser API for them is now provided
1484 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
1485 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
1486 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

1578 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
1579 ==============================================
1581 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
1582 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
1583 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
1584 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

1638 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
1639 ==============================================
1641 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
1642 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
1643 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
1644 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
1645 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
1649 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
1650 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
1652 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
1653 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
1654 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
1655 * documentation fixes
1656 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
1659 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

1673 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
1674 ==============================================
1676 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
1678 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
1679 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
1681 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
1682 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
1684 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
1697 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
1698 ==============================================
1700 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
1703 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
1704 ready at a specified monotonic time
1706 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
1708 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

1825 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
1826 ==============================================
1828 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
1829 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
1830 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
1831 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
1832 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
1834 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
1835 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
1836 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
1837 particular, are incompatible.
1839 * Bugs fixed in this release:

1884 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
1885 ==============================================
1887 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
1888 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
1889 causing regressions in applications.
1891 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
1892 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
1893 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
1896 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
1897 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
1898 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
1900 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
1902 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
1904 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
1906 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
1908 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
1910 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
1912 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
1914 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
1916 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
1918 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

1969 ==============================================
1971 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
1972 give feedback if they cause trouble:
1974 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
1975 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
1977 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
1979 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

1983 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
1985 * GLib version macros updated
1987 * Update to Unicode 6.2

2815 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
2816 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
2817 to an overridden property
2818 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
2819 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.

2866 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
2867 ==============================================
2869 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
2870 moved to GtkApplication.
2872 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
2873 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
2874 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
2875 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
2877 * lots of documentation improvements
2879 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
2881 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
2882 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
2884 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
2886 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
2888 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
2890 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
2891 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
2894 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
2895 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

2904 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
2906 * Translations updated:
2910 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
2911 ==============================================
2913 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
2914 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
2915 There have also been many related improvements to action group
2918 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
2919 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
2920 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
2923 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
2924 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
2925 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
2926 through an idle on the context.
2928 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
2929 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
2930 fixes here and there.
2932 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
2933 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
2934 API available outside GLib
2936 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

2978 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
2979 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
2981 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
2984 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
2985 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

3000 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
3001 =================================================
3003 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
3004 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
3006 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
3007 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
3008 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
3009 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
3010 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
3011 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
3012 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
3013 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
3014 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
3015 required (and has been deprecated)
3016 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
3017 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
3018 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
3019 without explicit initialisation.
3020 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
3021 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
3022 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
3024 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
3025 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
3026 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
3027 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
3028 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
3029 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
3030 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
3032 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
3033 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
3034 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
3035 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
3036 - GThread is now a refcounted type
3037 - other implementation details changed
3039 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
3040 deprecated/ directory.
3042 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
3043 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
3044 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
3046 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
3047 platform over a year ago).
3049 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
3050 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
3052 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
3053 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
3055 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
3056 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
3057 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
3058 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
3061 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
3062 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
3065 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
3067 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
3068 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
3070 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
3071 in a multi-threaded program
3073 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
3074 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
3077 - drop -uninstalled variants
3078 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
3080 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
3081 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
3082 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
3084 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
3086 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
3087 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
3090 - many code generation updates and improvements
3091 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
3094 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
3095 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
3097 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
3099 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
3102 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
3103 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
3105 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
3106 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
3108 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
3110 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
3114 * Partial list of bugs closed:

3530 * Translation updates:
3540 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
3541 ==============================================
3543 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
3544 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
3545 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
3546 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
3547 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
3548 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
3550 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
3551 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
3553 * Access to quarks is now lockless
3555 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
3557 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

3617 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
3618 ==============================================
3621 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
3622 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
3623 an 'object manager' pattern:
3624 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
3625 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
3626 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
3627 And server-side implementations:
3628 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
3629 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
3630 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
3634 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
3638 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
3639 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
3640 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
3641 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
3644 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
3645 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
3648 * Unix-specific APIs:
3649 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
3650 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
3651 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
3652 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
3653 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
3654 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

3669 647602 Cannot connect to remote message bus via TCP
3670 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
3671 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
3672 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
3673 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

3676 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
3678 * Updated translations
3685 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
3686 ==============================================
3689 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
3690 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
3691 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
3694 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
3695 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
3696 situations has been improved
3699 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
3700 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
3703 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
3704 match strcmp() semantics
3705 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
3706 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
3707 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
3709 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
3710 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
3713 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
3715 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
3717 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
3718 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
3719 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

4007 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
4010 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
4012 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting

4050 - Support environment passing
4053 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
4054 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
4056 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
4057 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
4058 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
4062 158725 free linked list with data

4075 * Translation updates:
4081 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
4082 ==============================================
4084 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
4085 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
4087 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
4088 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
4090 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
4092 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
4094 g_settings_get_range
4095 g_settings_range_check
4096 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
4098 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
4099 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
4101 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
4102 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
4104 g_main_context_invoke
4105 g_main_context_invoke_full
4107 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
4108 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
4109 looking for default applications.
4111 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
4112 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
4113 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
4114 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
4116 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
4117 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
4118 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

4376 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
4377 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4379 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
4380 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
4381 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
4382 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
4385 There have been many other improvements, however:
4388 - vastly improved test coverage
4389 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
4390 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
4391 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
4394 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

4440 =====================================================
4442 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4443 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
4444 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
4445 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
4446 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
4447 | required (and will be along soon). |
4448 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4451 - cleanup automake setup
4452 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
4453 - various docs fixups
4454 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

4469 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
4470 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
4471 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
4472 - constness fixes for introspection structures
4473 - clean ups to subtree registration API
4476 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

4508 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
4509 =====================================================
4511 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4512 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
4513 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
4514 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
4515 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4518 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
4519 -Bsymbolic-functions
4520 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
4521 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
4522 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
4523 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
4524 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4527 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
4528 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
4529 nobody was doing that.
4530 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
4532 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
4533 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
4535 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
4536 have a serial number
4537 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
4539 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
4541 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
4542 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
4543 has finished running on GDBus services.
4544 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
4545 this due to the obvious race)
4546 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
4547 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
4550 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
4551 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
4552 arguments and different behaviour
4553 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
4554 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
4555 strings instead of utf8 strings
4556 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
4557 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
4558 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
4559 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
4560 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
4561 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
4562 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
4563 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
4564 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
4567 - improved documentation
4568 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
4569 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
4570 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
4571 overridden using <override>.
4572 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
4574 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
4575 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
4576 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
4577 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
4578 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
4579 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
4580 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
4581 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
4582 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
4583 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
4584 being set due to a premature free
4585 - command line tool: bash completion support
4586 - chain up in _finalize
4587 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
4589 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
4590 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
4591 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
4593 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
4594 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
4595 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
4596 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
4597 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
4601 - always intern GBinding prop names
4602 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
4603 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
4604 - GNode docs improvements
4605 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
4606 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
4607 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
4611 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
4612 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
4613 - improved tests for GKeyfile
4614 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
4615 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
4616 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
4617 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
4618 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
4620 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
4621 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
4622 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4623 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
4624 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
4625 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
4626 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
4627 610784 array test failing

5321 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
5322 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
5325 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
5326 interfaces to dynamic types.

6053 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

6056 also uses less memory overall.

6061 that a GError is set or unset
6063 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
6065 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
6066 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
6068 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
