23 ==================================
25 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
26 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
27 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
28 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
30 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
31 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
32 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
34 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
37 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
38 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

183 * Translation updates:
195 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.5
196 ==================================
198 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
199 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
200 is unavailable or undesired.
202 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
203 glib-networking will also be required.

257 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
258 ==================================
260 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
261 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
262 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
263 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
265 This release corrects only this problem.
267 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
268 ==================================
270 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
271 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
272 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
274 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

620 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
621 ==================================
623 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
624 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
625 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
626 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
627 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
628 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
630 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
631 have seen major improvements.
633 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
634 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
635 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
638 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
640 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
642 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
644 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
645 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
646 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
647 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
648 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
649 you use the --strict option.
651 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
652 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
653 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
655 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
657 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
658 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
659 default handlers for a generic supertype.

704 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
705 ===================================
707 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
708 before the release of 2.44.0.
710 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
712 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
713 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
714 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
715 default in the next cycle.
717 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
719 * new GTask:completed property
721 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
722 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

761 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
762 ===================================
764 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
765 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
766 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
768 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
769 effective busy state.
771 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

818 ==================================
820 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
821 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
822 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
824 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
825 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.

1305 =====================================================
1307 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
1308 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
1309 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
1310 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
1311 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1312 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

1567 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
1568 ====================================================
1570 * GSettings fixes/improvements
1572 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
1574 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
1575 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
1578 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
1579 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
1582 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
1584 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
1586 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
1589 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
1590 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
1592 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
1594 * Applications/Actions
1596 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
1597 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
1600 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
1601 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
1603 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
1604 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
1605 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
1606 not itself at fault for the errant call)
1610 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
1611 accesses that are performed in common situations
1613 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
1614 are installed/removed
1616 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
1617 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
1619 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
1620 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
1625 - ignore qualified tags, as above
1627 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
1628 that test programs don't pick them up
1630 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
1632 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
1633 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
1634 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
1635 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
1637 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
1638 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
1640 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
1641 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
1642 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
1646 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
1648 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
1650 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
1652 Translations updated:
1660 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

1702 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
1703 ====================================================
1705 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
1709 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
1711 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
1712 them can restart the application with an action (via
1717 - new API for launching subprocesses
1719 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
1721 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
1723 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
1724 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
1726 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
1728 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
1730 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
1731 actions and listing apps and actions
1733 - bash tab completion is supported
1735 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
1737 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
1738 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
1740 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
1741 DBusActivatable=true
1743 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
1744 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
1749 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
1751 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
1752 class and inotify backend
1754 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
1755 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
1757 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
1762 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
1763 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
1764 when there are invalid schemas installed
1766 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
1770 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
1771 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
1773 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
1776 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
1777 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
1778 semantics of the interface in each case
1780 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
1781 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
1783 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
1785 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
1786 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
1787 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
1788 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
1792 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
1795 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
1797 * Portability improvements
1799 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
1801 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
1802 actually support it (like Hurd)
1804 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
1806 * Other small API changes/additions
1808 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
1809 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
1810 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
1812 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
1814 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
1815 G_LOG_ERROR messages
1817 * GMainContext/GSource
1819 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
1821 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
1822 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
1823 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
1824 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
1825 broken and should probably be fixed.
1827 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
1828 require use of a linked list
1832 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
1833 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
1834 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
1836 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
1840 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
1841 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
1842 gphoto, archive, at least).
1844 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
1846 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
1849 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
1850 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
1851 (which shared exactly the same bug)
1853 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
1855 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
1857 * Many documentation improvements

1915 What's new in Glib 2.38
1916 ========================
1918 * Application support
1920 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
1921 desktop entry specification
1923 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
1924 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
1925 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
1927 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
1928 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
1929 to launch other applications
1931 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
1932 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
1936 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
1937 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
1938 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
1939 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
1940 any problems that this may have caused.
1942 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
1943 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
1944 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
1945 (allowing memory savings)
1947 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
1948 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
1949 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
1951 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
1952 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
1955 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
1956 without destroying one of the objects involved
1960 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
1961 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
1962 with a finite number of cases
1964 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
1965 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
1967 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
1968 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
1969 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
1970 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
1973 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
1977 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
1978 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
1979 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
1981 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
1983 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
1984 and an API to check them
1986 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
1987 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
1989 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
1990 with most functions, but this is not recommended
1994 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
1995 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
1996 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
1999 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2000 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2001 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2003 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2008 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2009 allow for regexp matching on streams
2011 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2012 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2013 g_variant_new_printf()
2017 - we can now generate TAP output
2019 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2020 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2022 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2027 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2152 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2153 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2154 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2155 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
2157 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
2158 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
2161 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
2163 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because

2246 ==============================================
2248 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
2249 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
2251 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
2252 and will trigger a warning.
2255 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

2296 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
2298 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
2300 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
2302 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

2337 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
2338 ==============================================
2340 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2341 and a parser API for them is now provided
2343 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2344 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
2345 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

2405 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
2406 ==============================================
2408 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
2410 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
2411 the destination file
2413 - fix some 'available since' annotations
2415 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

2437 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
2438 ==============================================
2440 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
2441 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
2442 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
2443 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

2497 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
2498 ==============================================
2500 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
2501 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
2502 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
2503 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
2504 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
2508 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
2509 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient

2533 ==============================================
2535 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
2537 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
2538 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
2540 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
2541 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
2543 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
2556 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
2557 ==============================================
2559 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
2562 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
2563 ready at a specified monotonic time
2565 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
2567 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

2669 * Translation updates:
2684 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
2685 ==============================================
2687 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
2688 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
2689 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
2690 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
2691 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
2693 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
2694 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
2695 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
2696 particular, are incompatible.
2698 * Bugs fixed in this release:

2732 * Translation updates:
2743 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
2744 ==============================================
2746 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
2747 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
2748 causing regressions in applications.
2750 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
2751 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
2752 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
2755 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
2756 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
2757 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
2759 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
2761 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
2763 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
2765 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
2767 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
2769 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
2771 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
2773 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
2775 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
2777 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

2827 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
2828 ==============================================
2830 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
2831 give feedback if they cause trouble:
2833 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
2834 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
2836 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
2838 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
2840 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
2842 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
2844 * GLib version macros updated
2846 * Update to Unicode 6.2
2848 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts

3671 ==============================================
3674 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
3675 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
3676 to an overridden property
3677 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
3678 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
3680 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
3681 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
3683 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

3725 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
3726 ==============================================
3728 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
3729 moved to GtkApplication.
3731 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
3732 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
3733 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
3734 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
3736 * lots of documentation improvements
3738 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
3740 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
3741 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
3743 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
3745 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
3747 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
3749 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
3750 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
3753 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
3754 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

3758 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
3759 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

3765 * Translations updated:
3769 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
3770 ==============================================
3772 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
3773 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
3774 There have also been many related improvements to action group
3777 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
3778 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
3779 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
3782 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
3783 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
3784 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
3785 through an idle on the context.
3787 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
3788 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
3789 fixes here and there.
3791 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
3792 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
3793 API available outside GLib
3795 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

3836 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
3837 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
3838 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
3840 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
3843 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it

3859 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
3860 =================================================
3862 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
3863 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
3865 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
3866 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
3867 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
3868 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
3869 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
3870 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
3871 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
3872 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
3873 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
3874 required (and has been deprecated)
3875 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
3876 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
3877 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
3878 without explicit initialisation.
3879 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
3880 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
3881 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
3883 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
3884 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
3885 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
3886 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
3887 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
3888 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
3889 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
3891 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
3892 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
3893 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
3894 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
3895 - GThread is now a refcounted type
3896 - other implementation details changed
3898 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
3899 deprecated/ directory.
3901 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
3902 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
3903 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
3905 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
3906 platform over a year ago).
3908 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
3909 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
3911 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
3912 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
3914 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
3915 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
3916 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
3917 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
3920 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
3921 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
3924 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
3926 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
3927 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
3929 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
3930 in a multi-threaded program
3932 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
3933 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
3936 - drop -uninstalled variants
3937 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
3939 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
3940 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
3941 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
3943 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
3945 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
3946 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
3949 - many code generation updates and improvements
3950 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
3953 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
3954 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
3956 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
3958 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
3961 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
3962 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
3964 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
3965 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
3967 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
3969 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
3973 * Partial list of bugs closed:
3974 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

4261 - add some blacklisted mount directories
4262 - 60_wait-longer-for-threads-to-die.patch
4263 - sleep longer in a test case, if needed to avoid failing
4265 * Units policy change: prefer use of SI units
4266 - deprecate g_format_size_for_display, add g_format_size(_full)
4268 * GSettings: don't call g_error() when the schema is missing

4400 ==============================================
4402 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
4403 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
4404 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
4405 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
4406 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
4407 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
4409 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
4410 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
4412 * Access to quarks is now lockless
4414 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
4416 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

4467 * Updated translations:
4476 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
4477 ==============================================
4480 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
4481 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
4482 an 'object manager' pattern:
4483 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
4484 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
4485 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
4486 And server-side implementations:
4487 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
4488 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
4489 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
4493 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
4497 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
4498 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
4499 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
4500 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
4503 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
4504 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
4507 * Unix-specific APIs:
4508 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
4509 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
4510 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
4511 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
4512 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
4513 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

4537 * Updated translations
4544 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
4545 ==============================================
4548 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
4549 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
4550 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
4553 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
4554 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
4555 situations has been improved
4558 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
4559 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
4562 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
4563 match strcmp() semantics
4564 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
4565 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
4566 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
4568 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
4569 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
4572 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
4574 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
4576 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
4577 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
4578 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

4856 ==============================================
4858 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
4859 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
4864 g_get_monotonic_time
4866 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
4869 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
4871 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting

4905 ==============================================
4908 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
4909 - Support environment passing
4912 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
4913 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
4915 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
4916 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
4917 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
4921 158725 free linked list with data
4922 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

4934 * Translation updates:
4940 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
4941 ==============================================
4943 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
4944 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
4946 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
4947 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
4949 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
4951 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
4953 g_settings_get_range
4954 g_settings_range_check
4955 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
4957 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
4958 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
4960 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
4961 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
4963 g_main_context_invoke
4964 g_main_context_invoke_full
4966 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
4967 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
4968 looking for default applications.
4970 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
4971 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
4972 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
4973 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
4975 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
4976 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
4977 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5234 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5235 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5236 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5238 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5239 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5240 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5241 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5244 There have been many other improvements, however:
5247 - vastly improved test coverage
5248 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5249 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5250 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

5299 =====================================================
5301 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5302 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5303 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5304 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5305 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5306 | required (and will be along soon). |
5307 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5310 - cleanup automake setup
5311 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
5312 - various docs fixups
5313 - move glibconfig.h to glib/
5314 - disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace')
5317 - add support for vendor override files (to change the default values
5319 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
5320 - add g_settings_reset()
5321 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
5324 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
5325 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
5326 - proper support for file descriptor passing
5327 - new flags parameter for sending messages
5328 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
5329 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
5330 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
5331 - constness fixes for introspection structures
5332 - clean ups to subtree registration API
5335 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions
5336 - GIO: don't blindly assume that SOCK_CLOEXEC is supported
5337 - make GObject property notify freezes threadsafe
5338 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
5339 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
5340 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
5343 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
5344 617483 Credentials passing

5368 =====================================================
5370 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5371 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
5372 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
5373 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
5374 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5377 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
5378 -Bsymbolic-functions
5379 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
5380 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
5381 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
5382 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
5383 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5386 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
5387 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
5388 nobody was doing that.
5389 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
5391 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
5392 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
5394 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
5395 have a serial number
5396 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
5398 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
5400 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
5401 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
5402 has finished running on GDBus services.
5403 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
5404 this due to the obvious race)
5405 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
5406 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
5409 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
5410 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
5411 arguments and different behaviour
5412 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
5413 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
5414 strings instead of utf8 strings
5415 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
5416 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
5417 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
5418 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped

5428 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
5429 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
5430 overridden using <override>.
5431 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
5433 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
5434 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
5435 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp

5437 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
5438 enums and flags in the specified .h files.

5446 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
5448 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
5449 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
5450 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
5452 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
5453 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
5454 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
5455 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
5456 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
5460 - always intern GBinding prop names

6088 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
6090 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
6091 when g_type_init() is called.
6092 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
6095 - Another bunch of performance work has landed
6098 - GVariantType has been merged, with the rest of the GVariant

6170 ===================================================
6173 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6174 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6175 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6176 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6177 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6178 while loading or saving it.
6179 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6180 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6181 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6184 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6185 interfaces to dynamic types.
6188 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
6189 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

6909 ===================================================
6911 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
6912 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
6913 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
6914 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
6915 also uses less memory overall.
6917 * Make g_poll available as public api
6919 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
6920 that a GError is set or unset
6922 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
6924 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
6925 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
6927 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
6928 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

8542 =================================================
8544 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
8545 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
8546 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
8548 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
8549 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
8552 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
8553 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
8554 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
8556 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
8558 * Memory management:
8559 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
8560 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
8561 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
8562 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
8563 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
8564 never worked as intended.
8565 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
