1117 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
1118 ==================================
1120 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
1121 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
1122 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
1123 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
1125 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
1126 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
1127 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
1129 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
1130 environment variable.
1132 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
1133 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

1295 is unavailable or undesired.
1297 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

1352 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
1353 ==================================
1355 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
1356 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
1357 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
1358 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
1360 This release corrects only this problem.
1362 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
1363 ==================================
1365 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
1366 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
1367 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
1369 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1715 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1716 ==================================
1718 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1719 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1720 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1721 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1722 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1723 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1725 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1726 have seen major improvements.
1728 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1729 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1730 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1733 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1735 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1737 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1739 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1740 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1741 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1742 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1743 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1744 you use the --strict option.
1746 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1747 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1748 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1750 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1752 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1753 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1754 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1800 ===================================
1802 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1803 before the release of 2.44.0.
1805 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1807 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1808 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1809 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1810 default in the next cycle.
1812 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
1814 * new GTask:completed property
1816 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
1817 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

1857 ===================================
1859 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
1860 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1861 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1863 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1864 effective busy state.
1866 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

2405 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
2406 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
2407 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2662 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2663 ====================================================
2665 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2667 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2669 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2670 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2673 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2674 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2677 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2679 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2681 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2684 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2685 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2687 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2689 * Applications/Actions
2691 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2692 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2695 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2696 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2698 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2699 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2700 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2701 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2705 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2706 accesses that are performed in common situations
2708 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2709 are installed/removed
2711 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2712 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2714 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2715 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2720 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2722 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2723 that test programs don't pick them up
2725 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2727 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2728 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2729 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2730 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2732 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2733 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2735 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2736 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2737 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2741 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2743 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2745 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

2797 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2798 ====================================================
2800 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2804 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2806 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2807 them can restart the application with an action (via
2812 - new API for launching subprocesses
2814 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2816 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2818 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2819 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2821 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2823 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2825 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2826 actions and listing apps and actions
2828 - bash tab completion is supported
2830 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2832 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2833 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2835 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2836 DBusActivatable=true
2838 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2839 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2844 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2846 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2847 class and inotify backend
2849 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2850 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2852 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2857 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2858 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2859 when there are invalid schemas installed
2861 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2865 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2866 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2868 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2871 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2872 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2873 semantics of the interface in each case
2875 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2876 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2878 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2880 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2881 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2882 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2883 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2887 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2890 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2892 * Portability improvements
2894 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2896 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2897 actually support it (like Hurd)
2899 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2901 * Other small API changes/additions
2903 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2904 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2905 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2907 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2909 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2910 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2912 * GMainContext/GSource
2914 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2916 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2917 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2918 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2919 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2920 broken and should probably be fixed.
2922 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2923 require use of a linked list
2927 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2928 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2929 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2931 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2935 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2936 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2937 gphoto, archive, at least).
2939 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2941 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2944 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2945 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2946 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2948 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2950 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2952 * Many documentation improvements
2955 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2956 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2957 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

3004 Brazilian Portuguese
3010 What's new in Glib 2.38
3011 ========================
3013 * Application support
3015 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
3016 desktop entry specification
3018 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
3019 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
3020 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
3022 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
3023 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
3024 to launch other applications
3026 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
3027 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
3031 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
3032 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
3033 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
3034 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
3035 any problems that this may have caused.
3037 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
3038 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
3039 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
3040 (allowing memory savings)
3042 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
3043 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
3044 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
3046 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
3047 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
3050 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
3051 without destroying one of the objects involved
3055 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
3056 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
3057 with a finite number of cases
3059 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
3060 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
3062 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
3063 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
3064 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
3065 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
3068 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
3072 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
3073 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
3074 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
3076 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
3078 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
3079 and an API to check them
3081 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
3082 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
3084 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
3085 with most functions, but this is not recommended
3089 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
3090 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
3091 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
3094 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
3095 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
3096 particular directory (akin to 'du').
3098 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
3103 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
3104 allow for regexp matching on streams
3106 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
3107 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
3108 g_variant_new_printf()
3112 - we can now generate TAP output
3114 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
3115 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3117 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3122 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3245 ==============================================
3247 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
3248 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
3249 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3250 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
3252 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
3253 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
3256 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
3258 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
3259 the key was locked down)

3397 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
3398 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
3399 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
3401 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

3432 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
3433 ==============================================
3435 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3436 and a parser API for them is now provided
3438 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3439 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3440 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3501 ==============================================
3503 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
3505 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
3506 the destination file
3508 - fix some 'available since' annotations

3532 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
3533 ==============================================
3535 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3536 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3537 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3538 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3592 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3593 ==============================================
3595 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3596 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3597 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3598 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3599 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3603 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris

3628 ==============================================
3630 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3632 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3633 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3635 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3636 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3638 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3651 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3652 ==============================================
3654 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3657 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3658 ready at a specified monotonic time
3660 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3662 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

3764 * Translation updates:
3779 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3780 ==============================================
3782 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3783 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3784 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3785 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3786 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3788 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3789 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3790 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3791 particular, are incompatible.
3793 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3838 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3839 ==============================================
3841 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3842 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3843 causing regressions in applications.
3845 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3846 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3847 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3850 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3851 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3852 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3854 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3856 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3858 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3860 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3862 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3864 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3866 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3868 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3870 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3872 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3922 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
3923 ==============================================
3925 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3926 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3928 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3929 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3931 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3933 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
3935 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
3937 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
3939 * GLib version macros updated
3941 * Update to Unicode 6.2
3943 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts
3945 * GTimeZone support for old-format zoneinfo database (as on Mac OS)
3947 * g_settings_bind() now works with non-canonical property names
3949 * Fix crashes related to NULL connection passed to
3950 GBusNameVanishedCallback and document this situation

4769 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4770 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4771 to an overridden property
4772 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4773 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4775 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4776 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

4820 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4821 ==============================================
4823 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4824 moved to GtkApplication.
4826 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4827 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4828 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4829 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4831 * lots of documentation improvements
4833 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4835 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4836 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4838 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4840 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4842 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4844 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4845 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4848 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4849 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4853 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4854 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

4860 * Translations updated:
4864 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4865 ==============================================
4867 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4868 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4869 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4872 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4873 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4874 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4877 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4878 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4879 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4880 through an idle on the context.
4882 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4883 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4884 fixes here and there.
4886 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4887 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4888 API available outside GLib
4890 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4929 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
4931 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4932 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4933 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4935 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4938 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4939 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
4940 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
4943 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
4944 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

4950 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
4951 - various GIO file and stream fixes
4952 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
4954 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4955 =================================================
4957 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4958 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4960 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4961 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4962 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4963 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4964 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4965 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4966 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4967 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4968 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4969 required (and has been deprecated)
4970 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4971 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4972 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4973 without explicit initialisation.
4974 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4975 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4976 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4978 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4979 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4980 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4981 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4982 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4983 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4984 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4986 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4987 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4988 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4989 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4990 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4991 - other implementation details changed
4993 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4994 deprecated/ directory.
4996 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4997 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4998 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
5000 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
5001 platform over a year ago).
5003 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
5004 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
5006 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
5007 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
5009 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
5010 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
5011 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
5012 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
5015 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
5016 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
5019 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
5021 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
5022 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
5024 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
5025 in a multi-threaded program
5027 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
5028 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
5031 - drop -uninstalled variants
5032 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
5034 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
5035 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
5036 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
5038 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
5040 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
5041 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
5044 - many code generation updates and improvements
5045 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
5048 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
5049 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
5051 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
5053 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
5056 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
5057 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
5059 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
5060 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
5062 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
5064 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
5068 * Partial list of bugs closed:
5069 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5495 ==============================================
5497 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5498 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5499 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5500 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5501 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5502 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5504 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5505 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5507 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5509 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

5562 * Updated translations:
5571 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5572 ==============================================
5575 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5576 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5577 an 'object manager' pattern:
5578 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5579 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5580 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5581 And server-side implementations:
5582 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5583 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5584 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5588 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5592 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5593 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5594 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5595 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5598 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5599 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5602 * Unix-specific APIs:
5603 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5604 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5605 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5606 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5607 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5608 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5632 * Updated translations
5639 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5640 ==============================================
5643 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5644 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5645 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5648 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5649 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5650 situations has been improved
5653 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5654 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5657 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5658 match strcmp() semantics
5659 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5660 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5661 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5663 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5664 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5667 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5669 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5671 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5672 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5673 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

6004 - Support environment passing
6007 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
6008 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
6010 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
6011 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
6012 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
6016 158725 free linked list with data

6029 * Translation updates:
6035 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
6036 ==============================================
6038 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
6039 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
6041 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
6042 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
6044 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
6046 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
6048 g_settings_get_range
6049 g_settings_range_check
6050 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
6052 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
6053 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
6055 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
6056 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
6058 g_main_context_invoke
6059 g_main_context_invoke_full
6061 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
6062 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
6063 looking for default applications.
6065 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
6066 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
6067 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
6068 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
6070 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
6071 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
6072 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

6330 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
6331 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6333 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
6334 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
6335 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
6336 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
6339 There have been many other improvements, however:
6342 - vastly improved test coverage
6343 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
6344 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
6345 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
6348 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
6351 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
6352 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
6353 - improve debug output, add some extra options
6354 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
6356 - sort property names correctly
6357 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
6359 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
6362 - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
6363 without mapping functions
6364 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
6367 - improve closure support for bindings
6368 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
6371 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility

6394 =====================================================
6396 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6397 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
6398 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
6399 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
6400 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
6401 | required (and will be along soon). |
6402 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6405 - cleanup automake setup
6406 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
6407 - various docs fixups
6408 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

6462 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
6463 =====================================================
6465 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6466 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6467 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6468 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6469 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6472 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6473 -Bsymbolic-functions
6474 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6475 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6476 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6477 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6478 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6481 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6482 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6483 nobody was doing that.
6484 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6486 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6487 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6489 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6490 have a serial number
6491 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6493 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6495 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6496 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6497 has finished running on GDBus services.
6498 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6499 this due to the obvious race)
6500 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6501 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6504 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6505 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6506 arguments and different behaviour
6507 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6508 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6509 strings instead of utf8 strings
6510 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6511 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6512 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6513 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6514 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6515 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6516 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6517 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6518 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6521 - improved documentation
6522 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6523 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6524 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6525 overridden using <override>.
6526 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6528 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6529 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6530 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6531 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6532 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6533 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6534 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6535 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6536 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6537 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6538 being set due to a premature free
6539 - command line tool: bash completion support
6540 - chain up in _finalize
6541 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6543 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6544 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6545 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6547 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6548 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6549 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6550 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6551 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6555 - always intern GBinding prop names
6556 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6557 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6558 - GNode docs improvements
6559 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6560 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6561 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
6565 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
6566 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6567 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6568 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6569 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6570 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6571 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6572 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6574 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6575 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
6576 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6577 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6578 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
6579 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
6580 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
6581 610784 array test failing
6582 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6583 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

7272 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
7273 while loading or saving it.
7274 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
7275 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7276 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
7279 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
7280 interfaces to dynamic types.

8003 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
8004 ===================================================
8006 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
8007 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
8008 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
8009 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
8010 also uses less memory overall.
8012 * Make g_poll available as public api
8014 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
8015 that a GError is set or unset
8017 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
8019 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
8020 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
8022 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
8023 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
