411 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
412 ==================================
414 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
415 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
416 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
417 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
419 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
420 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
421 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
423 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
424 environment variable.
426 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
427 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

587 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
588 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
589 is unavailable or undesired.
591 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
592 glib-networking will also be required.

646 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
647 ==================================
649 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
650 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
651 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
652 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
654 This release corrects only this problem.
656 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
657 ==================================
659 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
660 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
661 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
663 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1002 * Translation updates:
1009 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1010 ==================================
1012 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1013 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1014 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1015 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1016 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1017 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1019 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1020 have seen major improvements.
1022 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1023 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1024 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1027 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1029 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1031 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1033 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1034 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1035 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1036 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1037 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1038 you use the --strict option.
1040 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1041 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1042 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1044 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1046 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1047 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1048 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1094 ===================================
1096 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1097 before the release of 2.44.0.
1099 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1101 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1102 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1103 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1104 default in the next cycle.
1106 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

1151 ===================================
1153 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro

1158 effective busy state.

1956 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
1957 ====================================================
1959 * GSettings fixes/improvements
1961 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
1963 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
1964 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
1967 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
1968 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
1971 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
1973 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
1975 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
1978 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
1979 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
1981 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
1983 * Applications/Actions
1985 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
1986 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
1989 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
1990 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
1992 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
1993 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
1994 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
1995 not itself at fault for the errant call)
1999 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2000 accesses that are performed in common situations
2002 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2003 are installed/removed
2005 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2006 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2008 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2009 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2014 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2016 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2017 that test programs don't pick them up
2019 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2021 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2022 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2023 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2024 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2026 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2027 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2029 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2030 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2031 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2035 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2037 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2039 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

2091 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2092 ====================================================
2094 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2098 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2100 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2101 them can restart the application with an action (via
2106 - new API for launching subprocesses
2108 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2110 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2112 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2113 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2115 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2117 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2119 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2120 actions and listing apps and actions
2122 - bash tab completion is supported
2124 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2126 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2127 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2129 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2130 DBusActivatable=true
2132 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2133 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2138 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2140 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2141 class and inotify backend
2143 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2144 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2146 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2151 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2152 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2153 when there are invalid schemas installed
2155 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2159 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2160 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2162 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2165 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2166 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2167 semantics of the interface in each case
2169 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2170 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2172 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2174 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2175 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2176 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2177 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2181 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2184 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2186 * Portability improvements
2188 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2190 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2191 actually support it (like Hurd)
2193 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2195 * Other small API changes/additions
2197 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2198 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2199 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2201 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2203 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2204 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2206 * GMainContext/GSource
2208 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2210 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2211 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2212 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2213 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2214 broken and should probably be fixed.
2216 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2217 require use of a linked list
2221 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2222 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2223 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2225 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2229 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2230 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2231 gphoto, archive, at least).
2233 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2235 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2238 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2239 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2240 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2242 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2244 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2246 * Many documentation improvements
2249 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2250 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART

2304 What's new in Glib 2.38
2305 ========================
2307 * Application support
2309 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2310 desktop entry specification
2312 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2313 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2314 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2316 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2317 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2318 to launch other applications
2320 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2321 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2325 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2326 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2327 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2328 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2329 any problems that this may have caused.
2331 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2332 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2333 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2334 (allowing memory savings)
2336 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2337 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2338 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2340 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2341 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2344 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2345 without destroying one of the objects involved
2349 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2350 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2351 with a finite number of cases
2353 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2354 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2356 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2357 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2358 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2359 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2362 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2366 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2367 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2368 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2370 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2372 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2373 and an API to check them
2375 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2376 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2378 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2379 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2383 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2384 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2385 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2388 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2389 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2390 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2392 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2397 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2398 allow for regexp matching on streams
2400 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2401 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2402 g_variant_new_printf()
2406 - we can now generate TAP output
2408 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2409 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2411 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2416 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2539 ==============================================
2541 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2542 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2543 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2544 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

2638 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
2640 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
2641 and will trigger a warning.

2687 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
2689 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
2691 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

2727 ==============================================
2729 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2730 and a parser API for them is now provided
2732 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2733 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
2734 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

2826 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
2827 ==============================================
2829 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
2830 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
2831 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
2832 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

2886 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
2887 ==============================================
2889 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
2890 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
2891 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
2892 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
2893 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report

2927 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
2929 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
2930 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.

3073 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3074 ==============================================
3076 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3077 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3078 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3079 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3080 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3082 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3083 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3084 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3085 particular, are incompatible.
3087 * Bugs fixed in this release:
3088 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants
3089 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files

3132 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3133 ==============================================
3135 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3136 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3137 causing regressions in applications.
3139 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3140 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3141 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3144 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3145 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3146 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3148 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3150 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3152 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3154 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3156 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3158 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3160 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3162 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3164 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3166 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3216 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
3217 ==============================================
3219 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3220 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3222 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3223 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3225 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3227 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
3229 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
3231 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
3233 * GLib version macros updated
3235 * Update to Unicode 6.2

4060 ==============================================
4063 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4064 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4065 to an overridden property
4066 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4067 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4069 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:

4114 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4115 ==============================================
4117 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4118 moved to GtkApplication.
4120 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4121 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4122 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4123 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4125 * lots of documentation improvements
4127 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4129 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4130 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4132 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4134 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4136 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4138 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4139 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4142 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4143 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
4144 664699 glib: documentation fixes

4147 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4148 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

4154 * Translations updated:
4158 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4159 ==============================================
4161 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4162 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4163 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4166 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4167 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4168 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4171 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4172 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4173 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4174 through an idle on the context.
4176 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4177 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4178 fixes here and there.
4180 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4181 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4182 API available outside GLib
4184 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4223 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
4225 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4226 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4227 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4229 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4232 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4233 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

4248 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4249 =================================================
4251 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4252 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4254 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4255 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4256 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4257 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4258 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4259 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4260 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4261 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4262 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4263 required (and has been deprecated)
4264 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4265 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4266 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4267 without explicit initialisation.
4268 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4269 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4270 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4272 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4273 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4274 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4275 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4276 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4277 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4278 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4280 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4281 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4282 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4283 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4284 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4285 - other implementation details changed
4287 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4288 deprecated/ directory.
4290 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4291 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4292 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4294 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4295 platform over a year ago).
4297 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4298 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4300 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4301 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4303 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4304 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4305 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4306 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4309 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4310 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4313 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4315 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4316 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4318 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4319 in a multi-threaded program
4321 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4322 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4325 - drop -uninstalled variants
4326 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4328 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4329 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4330 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4332 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4334 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4335 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4338 - many code generation updates and improvements
4339 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4342 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4343 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4345 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4347 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4350 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4351 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4353 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4354 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4356 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4358 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4362 * Partial list of bugs closed:

4788 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
4789 ==============================================
4791 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
4792 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
4793 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
4794 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
4795 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
4796 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
4798 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
4799 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
4801 * Access to quarks is now lockless
4803 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
4805 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

4865 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
4866 ==============================================
4869 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
4870 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
4871 an 'object manager' pattern:
4872 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
4873 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
4874 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
4875 And server-side implementations:
4876 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
4877 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
4878 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
4882 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
4886 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
4887 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
4888 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
4889 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
4892 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
4893 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
4896 * Unix-specific APIs:
4897 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
4898 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
4899 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
4900 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
4901 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
4902 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
4905 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing

4919 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
4920 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
4921 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION
4922 648423 Support G_DEBUG=trap-warnings

4924 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
4926 * Updated translations
4933 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
4934 ==============================================
4937 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
4938 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
4939 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
4942 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
4943 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
4944 situations has been improved
4947 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
4948 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
4951 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
4952 match strcmp() semantics
4953 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
4954 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
4955 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
4957 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
4958 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
4961 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
4963 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
4965 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
4966 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
4967 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5247 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
5248 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
5253 g_get_monotonic_time
5255 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
5258 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
5260 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
5262 g_simple_async_result_take_error
5263 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
5264 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
5266 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
5269 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
5270 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
5271 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
5273 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
5274 g_get_user_runtime_dir

5293 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
5294 ==============================================
5297 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
5298 - Support environment passing
5301 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5302 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5304 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5305 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5306 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5310 158725 free linked list with data

5320 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
5321 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
5323 * Translation updates:
5329 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5330 ==============================================
5332 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5333 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5335 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5336 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5338 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5340 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5342 g_settings_get_range
5343 g_settings_range_check
5344 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5346 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5347 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5349 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5350 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5352 g_main_context_invoke
5353 g_main_context_invoke_full
5355 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5356 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5357 looking for default applications.
5359 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5360 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5361 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5362 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5364 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5365 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5366 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5418 ====================================================
5421 - massive restructuring to reduce #include abuse
5422 - tweaks to silence some harmless compiler warnings

5623 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5624 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5625 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5627 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5628 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5629 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5630 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5633 There have been many other improvements, however:
5636 - vastly improved test coverage
5637 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5638 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5639 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

5688 =====================================================
5690 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5691 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5692 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5693 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5694 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5695 | required (and will be along soon). |
5696 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5699 - cleanup automake setup
5700 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
5701 - various docs fixups
5702 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

5708 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
5709 - add g_settings_reset()
5710 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
5713 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

5715 - proper support for file descriptor passing
5716 - new flags parameter for sending messages
5717 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
5718 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
5719 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
5720 - constness fixes for introspection structures
5721 - clean ups to subtree registration API
5724 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

5727 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
5728 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
5729 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
5732 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
5733 617483 Credentials passing
5734 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property

5757 =====================================================
5759 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5760 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
5761 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
5762 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
5763 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5766 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
5767 -Bsymbolic-functions
5768 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
5769 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
5770 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
5771 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
5772 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5775 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
5776 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
5777 nobody was doing that.
5778 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
5780 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
5781 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
5783 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
5784 have a serial number
5785 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
5787 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
5789 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
5790 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
5791 has finished running on GDBus services.
5792 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
5793 this due to the obvious race)
5794 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
5795 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
5798 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
5799 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
5800 arguments and different behaviour
5801 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
5802 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
5803 strings instead of utf8 strings
5804 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
5805 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
5806 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
5807 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
5808 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
5809 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
5810 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
5811 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
5812 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
5815 - improved documentation
5816 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
5817 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
5818 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
5819 overridden using <override>.
5820 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
5822 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
5823 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
5824 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
5825 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
5826 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
5827 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
5828 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
5829 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
5830 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
5831 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
5832 being set due to a premature free
5833 - command line tool: bash completion support
5834 - chain up in _finalize
5835 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
5837 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
5838 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
5839 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
5841 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
5842 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
5843 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
5844 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
5845 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
5849 - always intern GBinding prop names
5850 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
5851 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
5852 - GNode docs improvements
5853 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
5854 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
5855 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
5859 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
5860 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
5861 - improved tests for GKeyfile
5862 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
5863 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
5864 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
5865 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
5866 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
5868 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
5869 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
5870 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5871 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
5872 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
5873 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
5874 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
5875 610784 array test failing

6562 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6563 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6564 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6565 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6566 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6567 while loading or saving it.
6568 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6569 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6570 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6573 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6574 interfaces to dynamic types.
6577 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
6578 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

7301 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

7304 also uses less memory overall.

7313 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7314 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7316 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
