1190 is unavailable or undesired.
1192 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

1250 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
1251 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
1252 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
1253 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
1255 This release corrects only this problem.
1257 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
1258 ==================================
1260 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
1261 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
1262 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
1264 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1610 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1611 ==================================
1613 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1614 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1615 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1616 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1617 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1618 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1620 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1621 have seen major improvements.
1623 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1624 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1625 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1628 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1630 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1632 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1634 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1635 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1636 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1637 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1638 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1639 you use the --strict option.
1641 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1642 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1643 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1645 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1647 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1648 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1649 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1694 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
1695 ===================================
1697 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1698 before the release of 2.44.0.
1700 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1702 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1703 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1704 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1705 default in the next cycle.
1707 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
1709 * new GTask:completed property
1711 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
1712 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()
1715 614684 Make various parts of GObject const-correct
1716 730352 Use inet_pton(), if_nametoindex() and if_indextoname() for newer versions of Windows
1717 733876 Proxy protocol 'http' is not supported.

1751 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
1752 ===================================
1754 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
1755 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1756 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1758 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1759 effective busy state.
1761 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

1784 GInputStream and GOutputStream
1786 * GApplication: new API for marking 'busy' state according to the value
1787 of a boolean property on another object
1789 * GOptionGroup: add binding support (boxed type, annotation fixes, etc.)
1792 739724 Test functions should have async scope
1793 741024 glist: Mention that g_list_length() is bad for checking list emptiness

1808 ==================================
1810 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
1811 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
1812 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
1814 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
1815 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.
1817 * GListModel is a new interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.

2295 =====================================================
2297 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
2298 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
2299 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
2300 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
2301 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
2302 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
2304 New API: g_str_to_ascii()

2557 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2558 ====================================================
2560 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2562 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2564 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2565 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2568 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2569 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2572 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2574 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2576 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2579 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2580 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2582 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2584 * Applications/Actions
2586 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2587 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2590 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2591 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2593 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2594 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2595 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2596 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2600 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2601 accesses that are performed in common situations
2603 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2604 are installed/removed
2606 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2607 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2609 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2610 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2615 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2617 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2618 that test programs don't pick them up
2620 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2622 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2623 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2624 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2625 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2627 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2628 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2630 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2631 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2632 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2636 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2638 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2640 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2642 Translations updated:
2650 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

2692 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2693 ====================================================
2695 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2699 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2701 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2702 them can restart the application with an action (via
2707 - new API for launching subprocesses
2709 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2711 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2713 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2714 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2716 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2718 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2720 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2721 actions and listing apps and actions
2723 - bash tab completion is supported
2725 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2727 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2728 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2730 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2731 DBusActivatable=true
2733 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2734 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2739 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2741 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2742 class and inotify backend
2744 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2745 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2747 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2752 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2753 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2754 when there are invalid schemas installed
2756 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2760 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2761 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2763 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2766 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2767 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2768 semantics of the interface in each case
2770 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2771 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2773 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2775 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2776 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2777 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2778 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2782 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2785 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2787 * Portability improvements
2789 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2791 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2792 actually support it (like Hurd)
2794 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2796 * Other small API changes/additions
2798 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2799 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2800 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2802 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2804 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2805 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2807 * GMainContext/GSource
2809 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2811 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2812 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2813 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2814 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2815 broken and should probably be fixed.
2817 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2818 require use of a linked list
2822 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2823 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2824 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2826 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2830 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2831 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2832 gphoto, archive, at least).
2834 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2836 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2839 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2840 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2841 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2843 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2845 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2847 * Many documentation improvements

2905 What's new in Glib 2.38
2906 ========================
2908 * Application support
2910 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2911 desktop entry specification
2913 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2914 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2915 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2917 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2918 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2919 to launch other applications
2921 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2922 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2926 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2927 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2928 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2929 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2930 any problems that this may have caused.
2932 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2933 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2934 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2935 (allowing memory savings)
2937 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2938 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2939 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2941 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2942 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2945 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2946 without destroying one of the objects involved
2950 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2951 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2952 with a finite number of cases
2954 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2955 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2957 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2958 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2959 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2960 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2963 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2967 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2968 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2969 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2971 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2973 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2974 and an API to check them
2976 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2977 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2979 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2980 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2984 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2985 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2986 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2989 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2990 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2991 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2993 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2998 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2999 allow for regexp matching on streams
3001 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
3002 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
3003 g_variant_new_printf()
3007 - we can now generate TAP output
3009 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
3010 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3012 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3017 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3143 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
3144 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3145 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

3236 ==============================================
3238 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
3239 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
3241 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
3242 and will trigger a warning.
3245 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

3328 ==============================================
3330 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3331 and a parser API for them is now provided
3333 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3334 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3335 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3395 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
3396 ==============================================
3398 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
3400 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
3401 the destination file
3403 - fix some 'available since' annotations
3405 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
3408 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code
3409 696014 g_file_copy(): Ensure G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE preserves permissions
3411 * Translations updated:
3427 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
3428 ==============================================
3430 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3431 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly

3487 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3488 ==============================================
3490 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3491 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3492 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3493 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3494 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3498 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3499 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3501 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
3502 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
3503 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
3504 * documentation fixes
3505 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
3508 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

3522 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
3523 ==============================================
3525 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3527 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3528 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3530 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3531 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3533 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3546 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3547 ==============================================
3549 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3552 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3553 ready at a specified monotonic time
3555 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3557 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
3560 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
3561 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

3659 * Translation updates:
3674 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3675 ==============================================
3677 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3678 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3679 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3680 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3681 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3683 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3684 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3685 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3686 particular, are incompatible.
3688 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3722 * Translation updates:
3733 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3734 ==============================================
3736 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3737 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3738 causing regressions in applications.
3740 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3741 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3742 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3745 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3746 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3747 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3749 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3751 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3753 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3755 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3757 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3759 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3761 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3763 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3765 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3767 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3820 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3821 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3823 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3824 automatically disconnected on target object destruction

4715 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4716 ==============================================
4718 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4719 moved to GtkApplication.
4721 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4722 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4723 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4724 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4726 * lots of documentation improvements
4728 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4730 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4731 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4733 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4735 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4737 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4739 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4740 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4743 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4744 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
4745 664699 glib: documentation fixes
4746 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
4747 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
4748 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4749 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
4750 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
4751 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
4752 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
4753 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
4755 * Translations updated:
4759 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4760 ==============================================
4762 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4763 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4764 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4767 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4768 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4769 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4772 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4773 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4774 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4775 through an idle on the context.
4777 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4778 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4779 fixes here and there.
4781 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4782 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4783 API available outside GLib
4785 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4820 ==============================================
4822 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
4824 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
4826 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4827 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4828 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4830 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4833 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4834 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
4835 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
4838 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
4839 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

4849 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4850 =================================================
4852 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4853 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4855 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4856 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4857 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4858 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4859 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4860 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4861 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4862 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4863 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4864 required (and has been deprecated)
4865 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4866 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4867 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4868 without explicit initialisation.
4869 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4870 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4871 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4873 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4874 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4875 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4876 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4877 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4878 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4879 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4881 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4882 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4883 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4884 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4885 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4886 - other implementation details changed
4888 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4889 deprecated/ directory.
4891 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4892 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4893 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4895 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4896 platform over a year ago).
4898 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4899 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4901 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4902 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4904 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4905 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4906 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4907 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4910 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4911 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4914 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4916 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4917 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4919 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4920 in a multi-threaded program
4922 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4923 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4926 - drop -uninstalled variants
4927 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4929 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4930 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4931 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4933 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4935 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4936 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4939 - many code generation updates and improvements
4940 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4943 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4944 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4946 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4948 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4951 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4952 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4954 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4955 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4957 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4959 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4963 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4964 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5390 ==============================================
5392 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5393 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5394 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5395 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5396 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5397 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5399 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5400 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5402 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5404 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
5406 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

5457 * Updated translations:
5466 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5467 ==============================================
5470 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5471 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5472 an 'object manager' pattern:
5473 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5474 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5475 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5476 And server-side implementations:
5477 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5478 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5479 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5483 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5487 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5488 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5489 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5490 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5493 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5494 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5497 * Unix-specific APIs:
5498 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5499 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5500 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5501 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5502 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5503 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5527 * Updated translations
5534 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5535 ==============================================
5538 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5539 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5540 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5543 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5544 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5545 situations has been improved
5548 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5549 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5552 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5553 match strcmp() semantics
5554 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5555 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5556 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5558 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5559 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5562 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5564 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5566 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5567 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5568 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5810 that starts with a dot
5811 - GAppInfo gained API to differentiate between recommended
5812 and fallback mime handlers

5845 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
5846 ==============================================
5848 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
5849 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
5854 g_get_monotonic_time
5856 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
5859 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
5861 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
5863 g_simple_async_result_take_error
5864 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
5865 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
5867 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
5870 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
5871 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
5872 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
5874 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
5875 g_get_user_runtime_dir
5877 * Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed

5886 * Translation updates:
5894 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
5895 ==============================================
5898 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
5899 - Support environment passing
5902 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5903 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5905 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5906 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5907 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5911 158725 free linked list with data
5912 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
5913 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError

5921 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
5922 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
5924 * Translation updates:
5930 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5931 ==============================================
5933 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5934 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5936 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5937 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5939 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5941 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5943 g_settings_get_range
5944 g_settings_range_check
5945 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5947 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5948 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5950 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5951 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5953 g_main_context_invoke
5954 g_main_context_invoke_full
5956 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5957 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5958 looking for default applications.
5960 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5961 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5962 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5963 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5965 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5966 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5967 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
5970 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe

6225 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
6226 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6228 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
6229 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
6230 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
6231 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
6234 There have been many other improvements, however:
6237 - vastly improved test coverage
6238 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
6239 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
6240 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
6243 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

6289 =====================================================
6291 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6292 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
6293 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
6294 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
6295 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
6296 | required (and will be along soon). |
6297 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6300 - cleanup automake setup
6301 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
6302 - various docs fixups

6320 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
6321 - constness fixes for introspection structures
6322 - clean ups to subtree registration API
6325 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

6357 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
6358 =====================================================
6360 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6361 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6362 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6363 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6364 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6367 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6368 -Bsymbolic-functions
6369 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6370 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6371 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6372 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6373 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6376 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6377 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6378 nobody was doing that.
6379 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6381 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6382 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6384 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6385 have a serial number
6386 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6388 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6390 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6391 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6392 has finished running on GDBus services.
6393 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6394 this due to the obvious race)
6395 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6396 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6399 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6400 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6401 arguments and different behaviour
6402 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6403 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6404 strings instead of utf8 strings
6405 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6406 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6407 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6408 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6409 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6410 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6411 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6412 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6413 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6416 - improved documentation
6417 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6418 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6419 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6420 overridden using <override>.
6421 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6423 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6424 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6425 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6426 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6427 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6428 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6429 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6430 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6431 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6432 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6433 being set due to a premature free
6434 - command line tool: bash completion support
6435 - chain up in _finalize
6436 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require

7163 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
7164 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
7165 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
7166 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
7167 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
7168 while loading or saving it.
7169 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
7170 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7171 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
7174 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
7175 interfaces to dynamic types.
7178 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
7179 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

7898 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
7899 ===================================================
7901 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
7902 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
7903 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
7904 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
7905 also uses less memory overall.
7907 * Make g_poll available as public api
7909 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
7910 that a GError is set or unset
7912 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7914 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7915 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7917 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7918 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

9532 =================================================
9534 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
9535 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
9536 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
9538 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
9539 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
9542 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
9543 These functions handle negative offsets now, and

9546 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
9548 * Memory management:
9549 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and

9551 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
9552 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
9553 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
9554 never worked as intended.
9555 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
9556 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
9557 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
9558 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
9559 efficient and scalable implementation.
9560 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
9563 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
9564 unnecessary recursion.

9569 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
9573 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
9576 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
9577 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
9578 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
9582 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
9583 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
9584 since they are in glib.h
