1 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
2 ==============================================
4 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
6 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
9 - fix some 'available since' annotations
11 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
14 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code
15 696014 g_file_copy(): Ensure G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE preserves permissions

33 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
34 ==============================================
36 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
37 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
38 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
39 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

93 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
94 ==============================================
96 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
97 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
98 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
99 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
100 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
104 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
105 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
107 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
108 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
109 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
110 * documentation fixes
111 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
114 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

128 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
129 ==============================================
131 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
133 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
134 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
136 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
137 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
139 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
152 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
153 ==============================================
155 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
158 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
159 ready at a specified monotonic time
161 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
163 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
166 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
167 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

265 * Translation updates:
280 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
281 ==============================================
283 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
284 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
285 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
286 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
287 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
289 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
290 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
291 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
292 particular, are incompatible.
294 * Bugs fixed in this release:

339 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
340 ==============================================
342 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
343 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
344 causing regressions in applications.
346 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
347 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
348 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
351 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
352 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
353 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
355 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
357 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
359 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
361 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
363 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
365 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
367 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
369 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
371 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
373 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

423 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
424 ==============================================
426 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
427 give feedback if they cause trouble:
429 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
430 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
432 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
434 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

1311 * Updated translations
1321 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
1322 ==============================================
1324 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
1325 moved to GtkApplication.
1327 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
1328 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
1329 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
1330 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
1332 * lots of documentation improvements
1334 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
1336 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
1337 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
1339 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
1341 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
1343 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
1345 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
1346 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
1349 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
1350 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
1351 664699 glib: documentation fixes
1352 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
1353 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
1354 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
1355 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
1356 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
1357 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
1358 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
1359 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
1361 * Translations updated:
1365 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
1366 ==============================================
1368 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
1369 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
1370 There have also been many related improvements to action group
1373 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
1374 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
1375 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
1378 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
1379 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
1380 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
1381 through an idle on the context.
1383 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
1384 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
1385 fixes here and there.
1387 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
1388 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
1389 API available outside GLib
1391 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

1432 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
1433 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
1434 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
1436 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
1439 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
1440 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

1455 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
1456 =================================================
1458 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
1459 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
1461 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
1462 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
1463 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
1464 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
1465 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
1466 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
1467 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
1468 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
1469 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
1470 required (and has been deprecated)
1471 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
1472 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
1473 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
1474 without explicit initialisation.
1475 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
1476 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
1477 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
1479 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
1480 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
1481 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
1482 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
1483 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
1484 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
1485 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1487 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1488 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1489 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1490 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1491 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1492 - other implementation details changed
1494 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1495 deprecated/ directory.
1497 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1498 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1499 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1501 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1502 platform over a year ago).
1504 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1505 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1507 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1508 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
1510 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
1511 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
1512 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
1513 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
1516 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
1517 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
1520 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
1522 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
1523 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
1525 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
1526 in a multi-threaded program
1528 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
1529 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
1532 - drop -uninstalled variants
1533 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
1535 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
1536 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
1537 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
1539 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
1541 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
1542 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
1545 - many code generation updates and improvements
1546 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
1549 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
1550 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
1552 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
1554 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
1557 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
1558 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
1560 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
1561 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
1563 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
1565 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
1569 * Partial list of bugs closed:
1570 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

1996 ==============================================
1998 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
1999 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
2000 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
2001 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
2002 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
2003 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
2005 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
2006 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
2008 * Access to quarks is now lockless

2063 * Updated translations:
2072 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
2073 ==============================================
2076 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
2077 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
2078 an 'object manager' pattern:
2079 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
2080 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
2081 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
2082 And server-side implementations:
2083 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
2084 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
2085 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
2089 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
2093 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
2094 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
2095 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
2096 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
2099 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
2100 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
2103 * Unix-specific APIs:
2104 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
2105 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
2106 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
2107 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
2108 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
2109 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
2112 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing

2127 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
2128 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

2131 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
2133 * Updated translations
2140 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
2141 ==============================================
2144 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
2145 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
2146 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
2149 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
2150 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
2151 situations has been improved
2154 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
2155 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
2158 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
2159 match strcmp() semantics
2160 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
2161 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
2162 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
2164 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
2165 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
2168 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
2170 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
2172 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
2173 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
2174 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

2451 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
2452 ==============================================
2454 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
2455 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
2460 g_get_monotonic_time
2462 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
2465 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
2467 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
2469 g_simple_async_result_take_error
2470 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
2471 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
2473 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
2476 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
2477 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
2478 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
2480 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
2481 g_get_user_runtime_dir
2483 * Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed
2486 620263 Add g_clear_object, g_clear_pointer, g_clear_boxed
2487 633075 update Project Files and sources for MSVC 2008/C89

2489 633685 Use g_simple_async_result_{new_,}take_error
2490 633686 Add g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
2492 * Translation updates:
2500 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
2501 ==============================================
2504 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
2505 - Support environment passing
2508 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
2509 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
2511 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
2512 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
2513 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
2517 158725 free linked list with data
2518 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
2519 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError
2520 629274 GNetworkService does not do fallback when there is no SRV record

2527 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
2528 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
2530 * Translation updates:
2536 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
2537 ==============================================
2539 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
2540 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
2542 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
2543 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
2545 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
2547 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
2549 g_settings_get_range
2550 g_settings_range_check
2551 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
2553 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
2554 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
2556 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
2557 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
2559 g_main_context_invoke
2560 g_main_context_invoke_full
2562 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
2563 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
2564 looking for default applications.
2566 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2567 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2568 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2569 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2571 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2572 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2573 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
2576 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe

2828 =====================================================
2830 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2831 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
2832 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2834 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
2835 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
2836 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
2837 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
2840 There have been many other improvements, however:
2843 - vastly improved test coverage
2844 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
2845 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
2846 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

2895 =====================================================
2897 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2898 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
2899 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
2900 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
2901 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
2902 | required (and will be along soon). |
2903 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2906 - cleanup automake setup
2907 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
2908 - various docs fixups
2909 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

2926 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
2927 - constness fixes for introspection structures
2928 - clean ups to subtree registration API
2931 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

2934 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
2935 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
2936 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
2939 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
2940 617483 Credentials passing

2964 =====================================================
2966 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2967 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
2968 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
2969 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
2970 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2973 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
2974 -Bsymbolic-functions
2975 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
2976 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
2977 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
2978 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
2979 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2982 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
2983 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
2984 nobody was doing that.
2985 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
2987 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
2988 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
2990 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
2991 have a serial number
2992 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
2994 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
2996 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
2997 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
2998 has finished running on GDBus services.
2999 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
3000 this due to the obvious race)
3001 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
3002 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
3005 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
3006 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
3007 arguments and different behaviour
3008 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
3009 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
3010 strings instead of utf8 strings
3011 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
3012 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
3013 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
3014 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
3015 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
3016 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
3017 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
3018 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
3019 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
3022 - improved documentation
3023 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
3024 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
3025 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
3026 overridden using <override>.
3027 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
3029 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
3030 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
3031 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
3032 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
3033 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
3034 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
3035 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
3036 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
3037 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
3038 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
3039 being set due to a premature free
3040 - command line tool: bash completion support
3041 - chain up in _finalize
3042 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
3044 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
3045 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
3046 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
3048 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
3049 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
3050 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
3051 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
3052 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
3056 - always intern GBinding prop names
3057 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
3058 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
3059 - GNode docs improvements
3060 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
3061 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
3062 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
3066 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
3067 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
3068 - improved tests for GKeyfile
3069 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
3070 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
3071 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
3072 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests

3769 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
3770 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
3771 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
3772 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
3773 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
3774 while loading or saving it.
3775 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
3776 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
3777 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
3780 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
3781 interfaces to dynamic types.
3784 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because

4504 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
4505 ===================================================
4507 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
4508 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
4509 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
4510 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
4511 also uses less memory overall.
4513 * Make g_poll available as public api
4515 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
4516 that a GError is set or unset
4518 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
4520 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
4521 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
4523 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
4524 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

6162 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
6163 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
6164 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
6165 efficient and scalable implementation.
6166 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
6169 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
6170 unnecessary recursion.

6175 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
6179 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
6182 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
6183 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
6184 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
6188 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
6189 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
6190 since they are in glib.h
