914 ==================================
916 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
917 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
918 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
919 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.

922 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
923 uses prctl() but the pthread api.

926 environment variable.

1122 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.4
1123 ==================================
1125 * The GApplication documentation has been improved in several areas.

1148 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
1149 ==================================
1151 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
1152 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
1153 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
1154 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
1156 This release corrects only this problem.
1158 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
1159 ==================================
1161 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
1162 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
1163 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
1165 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1511 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1512 ==================================
1514 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1515 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1516 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1517 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1518 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1519 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1521 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1522 have seen major improvements.
1524 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1525 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1526 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1529 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1531 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1533 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1535 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1536 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1537 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1538 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1539 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1540 you use the --strict option.
1542 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1543 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1544 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1546 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1548 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1549 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1550 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1596 ===================================
1598 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1599 before the release of 2.44.0.
1601 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1603 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1604 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1605 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1606 default in the next cycle.
1608 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

2198 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
2199 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
2200 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
2201 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
2202 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
2203 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2451 * Translations updates:
2458 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2459 ====================================================
2461 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2463 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2465 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2466 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2469 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2470 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2473 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2475 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2477 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2480 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2481 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2483 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2485 * Applications/Actions
2487 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2488 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2491 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2492 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2494 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2495 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2496 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2497 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2501 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2502 accesses that are performed in common situations
2504 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2505 are installed/removed
2507 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2508 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2510 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2511 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2516 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2518 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2519 that test programs don't pick them up
2521 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2523 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2524 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2525 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2526 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2528 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2529 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2531 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2532 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2533 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2537 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2539 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2541 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2543 Translations updated:
2551 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

2559 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata

2561 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
2562 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
2563 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

2593 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2594 ====================================================
2596 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2600 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2602 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2603 them can restart the application with an action (via
2608 - new API for launching subprocesses
2610 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2612 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2614 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2615 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2617 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2619 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2621 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2622 actions and listing apps and actions
2624 - bash tab completion is supported
2626 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2628 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2629 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2631 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2632 DBusActivatable=true
2634 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2635 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2640 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2642 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2643 class and inotify backend
2645 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2646 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2648 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2653 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2654 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2655 when there are invalid schemas installed
2657 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2661 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2662 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2664 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2667 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2668 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2669 semantics of the interface in each case
2671 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2672 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2674 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2676 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2677 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2678 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2679 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2683 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2686 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2688 * Portability improvements
2690 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2692 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2693 actually support it (like Hurd)
2695 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2697 * Other small API changes/additions
2699 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2700 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2701 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2703 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2705 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2706 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2708 * GMainContext/GSource
2710 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2712 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2713 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2714 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2715 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2716 broken and should probably be fixed.
2718 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2719 require use of a linked list
2723 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2724 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2725 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2727 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2731 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2732 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2733 gphoto, archive, at least).
2735 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2737 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2740 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2741 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2742 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2744 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2746 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2748 * Many documentation improvements
2751 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing

2806 What's new in Glib 2.38
2807 ========================
2809 * Application support
2811 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2812 desktop entry specification
2814 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2815 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2816 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2818 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2819 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2820 to launch other applications
2822 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2823 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2827 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2828 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2829 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2830 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2831 any problems that this may have caused.
2833 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2834 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2835 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2836 (allowing memory savings)
2838 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2839 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2840 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2842 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2843 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2846 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2847 without destroying one of the objects involved
2851 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2852 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2853 with a finite number of cases
2855 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2856 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2858 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2859 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2860 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2861 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2864 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2868 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2869 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2870 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2872 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2874 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2875 and an API to check them
2877 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2878 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2880 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2881 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2885 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2886 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2887 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2890 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2891 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2892 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2894 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2899 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2900 allow for regexp matching on streams
2902 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2903 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2904 g_variant_new_printf()
2908 - we can now generate TAP output
2910 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2911 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2913 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2918 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3043 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
3044 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
3045 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3046 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

3228 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
3229 ==============================================
3231 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3232 and a parser API for them is now provided
3234 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3235 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3236 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3331 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3332 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly

3388 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3389 ==============================================
3391 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3392 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3393 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3394 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3395 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3399 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3400 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3402 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
3403 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
3404 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
3405 * documentation fixes
3406 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
3409 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

3423 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
3424 ==============================================
3426 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3428 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3429 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3431 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3432 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3434 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3447 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3448 ==============================================
3450 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3453 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3454 ready at a specified monotonic time
3456 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3458 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
3461 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
3462 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

3560 * Translation updates:
3575 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3576 ==============================================
3578 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3579 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3580 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3581 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3582 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3584 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3585 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3586 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3587 particular, are incompatible.
3589 * Bugs fixed in this release:
3590 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants
3591 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files

3634 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3635 ==============================================
3637 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3638 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3639 causing regressions in applications.
3641 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3642 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3643 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3646 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3647 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3648 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3650 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3652 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3654 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3656 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3658 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3660 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3662 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3664 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3666 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3668 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3718 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
3719 ==============================================
3721 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3722 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3724 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3725 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3727 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3729 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
3731 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
3733 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
3735 * GLib version macros updated
3737 * Update to Unicode 6.2

4087 Overview of changes from GLib 2.33.2 to 2.33.3
4088 ==============================================
4090 This release contains mostly bugfixes, cleanups and performance
4091 improvements (including many fixes contributed by Colin on the advice of
4092 Coverity). There are a few notable externally-visible changes:
4094 * Thumbnails are now in XDG_CACHE_HOME

4565 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4566 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4567 to an overridden property
4568 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4569 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4571 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4572 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

4616 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4617 ==============================================
4619 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4620 moved to GtkApplication.
4622 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4623 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4624 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4625 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4627 * lots of documentation improvements
4629 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4631 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4632 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4634 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4636 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4638 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4640 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4641 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4644 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4645 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4656 * Translations updated:
4660 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4661 ==============================================
4663 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4664 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4665 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4668 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4669 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4670 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4673 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4674 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4675 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4676 through an idle on the context.
4678 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4679 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4680 fixes here and there.
4682 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4683 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer

4720 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.0 to 2.31.2
4721 ==============================================
4723 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
4725 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
4727 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4728 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4729 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4731 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4734 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4735 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
4736 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
4739 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
4740 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
4743 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
4746 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
4747 - various GIO file and stream fixes
4748 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
4750 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4751 =================================================
4753 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4754 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4756 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4757 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4758 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4759 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4760 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4761 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4762 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4763 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4764 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4765 required (and has been deprecated)
4766 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4767 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4768 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4769 without explicit initialisation.
4770 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4771 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4772 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4774 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4775 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4776 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4777 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4778 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4779 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4780 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4782 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4783 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4784 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4785 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4786 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4787 - other implementation details changed
4789 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4790 deprecated/ directory.
4792 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4793 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4794 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4796 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4797 platform over a year ago).
4799 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4800 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4802 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4803 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4805 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4806 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4807 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4808 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4811 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4812 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4815 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4817 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4818 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4820 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4821 in a multi-threaded program
4823 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4824 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4827 - drop -uninstalled variants
4828 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4830 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4831 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4832 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4834 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4836 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4837 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4840 - many code generation updates and improvements
4841 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4844 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4845 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4847 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4849 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4852 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4853 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4855 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4856 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4858 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4860 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4864 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4865 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5290 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
5291 ==============================================
5293 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5294 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5295 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5296 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5297 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5298 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5300 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5301 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5303 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5305 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
5307 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
5309 * Introspection improvements:

5358 * Updated translations:
5367 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5368 ==============================================
5371 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5372 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5373 an 'object manager' pattern:
5374 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5375 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5376 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5377 And server-side implementations:
5378 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5379 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5380 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5384 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5388 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5389 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5390 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5391 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5394 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5395 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5398 * Unix-specific APIs:
5399 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5400 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5401 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5402 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5403 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5404 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5421 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
5422 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
5423 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

5426 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
5428 * Updated translations
5435 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5436 ==============================================
5439 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5440 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5441 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5444 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5445 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5446 situations has been improved
5449 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5450 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5453 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5454 match strcmp() semantics
5455 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5456 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5457 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5459 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5460 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5463 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5465 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5467 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5468 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5469 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5835 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5837 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5838 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5840 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5842 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5844 g_settings_get_range
5845 g_settings_range_check
5846 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5848 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5849 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5851 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5852 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5854 g_main_context_invoke
5855 g_main_context_invoke_full
5857 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5858 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5859 looking for default applications.
5861 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5862 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5863 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5864 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5866 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5867 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5868 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

6123 =====================================================
6125 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6126 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
6127 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6129 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
6130 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
6131 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
6132 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
6135 There have been many other improvements, however:
6138 - vastly improved test coverage
6139 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
6140 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
6141 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
6144 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

6190 =====================================================
6192 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6193 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
6194 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
6195 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
6196 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
6197 | required (and will be along soon). |
6198 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6201 - cleanup automake setup
6202 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
6203 - various docs fixups
6204 - move glibconfig.h to glib/
6205 - disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace')

6210 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
6211 - add g_settings_reset()
6212 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
6215 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
6216 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
6217 - proper support for file descriptor passing
6218 - new flags parameter for sending messages
6219 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
6220 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
6221 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
6222 - constness fixes for introspection structures
6223 - clean ups to subtree registration API
6226 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

6229 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
6230 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
6231 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
6234 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
6235 617483 Credentials passing
6236 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property

6258 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
6259 =====================================================
6261 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6262 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6263 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6264 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6265 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6268 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6269 -Bsymbolic-functions
6270 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6271 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6272 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6273 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6274 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6277 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6278 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6279 nobody was doing that.
6280 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6282 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6283 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6285 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6286 have a serial number
6287 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6289 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6291 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6292 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6293 has finished running on GDBus services.
6294 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6295 this due to the obvious race)
6296 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6297 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6300 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6301 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6302 arguments and different behaviour
6303 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6304 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6305 strings instead of utf8 strings
6306 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6307 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6308 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6309 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6310 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6311 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6312 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6313 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6314 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6317 - improved documentation
6318 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6319 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6320 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6321 overridden using <override>.
6322 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6324 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6325 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6326 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6327 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6328 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6329 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6330 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6331 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6332 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6333 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6334 being set due to a premature free
6335 - command line tool: bash completion support
6336 - chain up in _finalize
6337 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6339 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6340 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6341 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6343 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6344 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6345 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6346 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6347 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6351 - always intern GBinding prop names
6352 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6353 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6354 - GNode docs improvements
6355 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6356 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6357 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
6361 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
6362 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6363 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6364 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6365 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6366 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6367 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6368 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6370 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6371 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
6372 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6373 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6374 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n

7061 ===================================================
7064 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
7065 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
7066 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
7067 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
7068 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
7069 while loading or saving it.
7070 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
7071 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7072 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
7075 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
7076 interfaces to dynamic types.
7079 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
7080 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
7081 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

7799 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
7800 ===================================================
7802 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
7803 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
7804 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
7805 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
7806 also uses less memory overall.
7808 * Make g_poll available as public api
7810 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
7811 that a GError is set or unset
7813 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7815 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7816 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7818 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7819 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
