1 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
2 ==============================================
4 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
5 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
6 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other

27 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
28 ==============================================
30 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
31 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
32 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
33 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
34 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
38 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
39 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
41 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
42 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
43 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
45 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
48 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

62 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
63 ==============================================
65 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
67 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
68 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
70 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
71 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
73 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
86 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
87 ==============================================
89 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
92 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
93 ready at a specified monotonic time
95 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
97 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
100 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
101 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

199 * Translation updates:
214 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
215 ==============================================
217 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
218 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
219 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
220 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
221 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
223 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
224 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
225 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
226 particular, are incompatible.
228 * Bugs fixed in this release:

262 * Translation updates:
273 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
274 ==============================================
276 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
277 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
278 causing regressions in applications.
280 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
281 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
282 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
285 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
286 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
287 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
289 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
291 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
293 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
295 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
297 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
299 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
301 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
303 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
305 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
307 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

361 give feedback if they cause trouble:
363 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
364 automatically disconnected on target object destruction

1204 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
1205 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
1206 to an overridden property
1207 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
1208 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.

1261 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
1262 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
1263 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
1264 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
1266 * lots of documentation improvements
1268 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
1270 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs

1275 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()

1299 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
1300 ==============================================
1302 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
1303 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
1304 There have also been many related improvements to action group
1307 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
1308 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
1309 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
1312 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
1313 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
1314 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
1315 through an idle on the context.
1317 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
1318 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
1319 fixes here and there.
1321 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
1322 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
1323 API available outside GLib
1325 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

1360 ==============================================
1362 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
1364 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
1366 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
1367 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
1368 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
1370 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
1373 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
1374 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
1375 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
1378 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
1379 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

1386 - various GIO file and stream fixes
1387 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
1389 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
1390 =================================================
1392 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
1393 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
1395 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
1396 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
1397 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
1398 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
1399 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
1400 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
1401 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
1402 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
1403 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
1404 required (and has been deprecated)
1405 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
1406 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
1407 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
1408 without explicit initialisation.
1409 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
1410 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
1411 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
1413 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
1414 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
1415 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
1416 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
1417 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
1418 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
1419 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1421 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1422 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1423 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1424 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1425 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1426 - other implementation details changed
1428 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1429 deprecated/ directory.
1431 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1432 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1433 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1435 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1436 platform over a year ago).
1438 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1439 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1441 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1442 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
1444 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
1445 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
1446 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
1447 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
1450 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
1451 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
1454 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
1456 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
1457 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
1459 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
1460 in a multi-threaded program
1462 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
1463 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
1466 - drop -uninstalled variants
1467 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
1469 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
1470 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
1471 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
1473 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
1475 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
1476 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
1479 - many code generation updates and improvements
1480 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
1483 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
1484 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
1486 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
1488 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
1491 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
1492 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
1494 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
1495 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
1497 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
1499 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
1503 * Partial list of bugs closed:
1504 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

1929 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
1930 ==============================================
1932 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
1933 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
1934 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
1935 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
1936 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
1937 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
1939 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
1940 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
1942 * Access to quarks is now lockless
1944 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
1946 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

1997 * Updated translations:
2006 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
2007 ==============================================
2010 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
2011 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
2012 an 'object manager' pattern:
2013 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
2014 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
2015 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
2016 And server-side implementations:
2017 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
2018 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
2019 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
2023 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
2027 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
2028 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
2029 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
2030 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
2033 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
2034 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
2037 * Unix-specific APIs:
2038 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
2039 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
2040 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
2041 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
2042 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
2043 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

2060 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
2061 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
2062 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

2067 * Updated translations
2074 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
2075 ==============================================
2078 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
2079 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
2080 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
2083 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
2084 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
2085 situations has been improved
2088 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
2089 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
2092 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
2093 match strcmp() semantics
2094 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
2095 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
2096 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
2098 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
2099 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
2102 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
2104 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
2106 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
2107 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
2108 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

2426 * Translation updates:
2434 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
2435 ==============================================
2438 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
2439 - Support environment passing
2442 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
2443 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
2445 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
2446 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
2447 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
2451 158725 free linked list with data
2452 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
2453 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError
2454 629274 GNetworkService does not do fallback when there is no SRV record
2455 631264 gsettings-tool choice/range support
2456 631482 g_date_time_from_instant: 1000000000000000000
2457 632169 docs for manual use of gsettings-data-convert
2458 632571 Add equivalent to gconftool-2's -R option
2459 633115 GSettings m4 doesn't fail the build for broken schemas

2461 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
2462 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
2464 * Translation updates:
2470 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
2471 ==============================================
2473 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
2474 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
2476 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
2477 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
2479 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
2481 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
2483 g_settings_get_range
2484 g_settings_range_check
2485 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
2487 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
2488 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
2490 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
2491 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
2493 g_main_context_invoke
2494 g_main_context_invoke_full
2496 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
2497 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
2498 looking for default applications.
2500 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2501 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2502 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2503 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2505 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2506 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2507 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

2762 =====================================================
2764 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2765 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
2766 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2768 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
2769 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
2770 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
2771 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
2774 There have been many other improvements, however:
2777 - vastly improved test coverage
2778 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
2779 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
2780 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

2829 =====================================================
2831 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2832 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
2833 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
2834 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
2835 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
2836 | required (and will be along soon). |
2837 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2840 - cleanup automake setup
2841 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
2842 - various docs fixups
2843 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

2860 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
2861 - constness fixes for introspection structures
2862 - clean ups to subtree registration API
2865 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

2898 =====================================================
2900 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2901 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
2902 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
2903 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
2904 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2907 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
2908 -Bsymbolic-functions
2909 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
2910 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
2911 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
2912 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
2913 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2916 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
2917 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
2918 nobody was doing that.
2919 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
2921 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
2922 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
2924 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
2925 have a serial number
2926 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
2928 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
2930 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
2931 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
2932 has finished running on GDBus services.
2933 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
2934 this due to the obvious race)
2935 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
2936 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
2939 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
2940 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
2941 arguments and different behaviour
2942 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
2943 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
2944 strings instead of utf8 strings
2945 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
2946 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
2947 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
2948 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
2949 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
2950 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
2951 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
2952 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
2953 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
2956 - improved documentation
2957 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
2958 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
2959 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
2960 overridden using <override>.
2961 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
2963 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
2964 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
2965 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
2966 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
2967 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
2968 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
2969 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
2970 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
2971 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
2972 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
2973 being set due to a premature free
2974 - command line tool: bash completion support
2975 - chain up in _finalize
2976 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
2978 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
2979 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
2980 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
2982 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
2983 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
2984 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
2985 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
2986 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
2990 - always intern GBinding prop names
2991 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
2992 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
2993 - GNode docs improvements
2994 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
2995 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
2996 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
3000 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
3001 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
3002 - improved tests for GKeyfile
3003 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
3004 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
3005 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
3006 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
3007 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
3009 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
3010 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
3011 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3012 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
3013 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
3014 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
3015 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
3016 610784 array test failing

3700 ===================================================
3703 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
3704 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
3705 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
3706 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
3707 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
3708 while loading or saving it.
3709 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
3710 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
3711 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
3714 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
3715 interfaces to dynamic types.
3718 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
3719 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
3720 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

4438 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
4439 ===================================================
4441 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
4442 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
4443 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
4444 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
4445 also uses less memory overall.
4447 * Make g_poll available as public api
4449 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
4450 that a GError is set or unset
4452 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
4454 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
4455 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
4457 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
4458 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

6096 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
6097 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
6098 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
6099 efficient and scalable implementation.
6100 [Tim Janik, Matthias]

6113 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
6116 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
6117 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
6118 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
6122 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
6123 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
