677 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
678 ==================================
680 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
681 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
682 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
683 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
685 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
686 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
687 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
689 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
690 environment variable.
692 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
693 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

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

912 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
913 ==================================
915 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
916 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
917 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
918 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
920 This release corrects only this problem.
922 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
923 ==================================
925 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
926 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
927 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
929 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1275 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1276 ==================================
1278 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1279 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1280 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1281 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1282 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1283 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1285 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1286 have seen major improvements.
1288 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1289 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1290 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1293 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1295 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1297 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1299 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1300 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1301 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1302 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1303 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1304 you use the --strict option.
1306 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1307 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1308 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1310 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1312 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1313 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1314 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1359 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
1360 ===================================
1362 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1363 before the release of 2.44.0.
1365 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1367 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1368 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1369 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1370 default in the next cycle.
1372 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
1374 * new GTask:completed property
1376 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
1377 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

1417 ===================================
1419 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
1420 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1421 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1423 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1424 effective busy state.
1426 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

1848 Overview of changes in GLib 2.41.0
1849 ===================================
1851 * Many bugfixes found by static analysis, including potential fd leaks
1852 and NULL pointer dereferences.
1854 * Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
1855 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).
1857 * use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn handling of desktop
1858 files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env()
1860 * add support for g_desktop_app_info_get_implementations() to find
1861 desktop files that have an Implements= line for a given interface
1863 * GHmac has gained SHA-512 support
1865 * support the new mimeapps specification (most notably, moving the
1866 assoications/defaults configuration to ~/.config/mimeapps.list).
1868 * libgobject is now linked -Wl,-z,nodelete when possible to avoid errors
1869 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself
1870 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded
1872 * ... and many other bug fixes.

1964 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
1965 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
1966 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1967 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2222 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2223 ====================================================
2225 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2227 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2229 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2230 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2233 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2234 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2237 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2239 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2241 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2244 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2245 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2247 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2249 * Applications/Actions
2251 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2252 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2255 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2256 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2258 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2259 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2260 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2261 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2265 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2266 accesses that are performed in common situations
2268 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2269 are installed/removed
2271 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2272 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2274 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2275 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2280 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2282 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2283 that test programs don't pick them up
2285 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2287 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2288 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2289 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2290 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2292 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2293 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2295 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2296 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2297 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2301 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2303 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2305 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

2357 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2358 ====================================================
2360 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2364 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2366 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2367 them can restart the application with an action (via
2372 - new API for launching subprocesses
2374 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2376 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2378 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2379 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2381 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2383 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2385 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2386 actions and listing apps and actions
2388 - bash tab completion is supported
2390 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2392 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2393 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2395 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2396 DBusActivatable=true
2398 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2399 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2404 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2406 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2407 class and inotify backend
2409 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2410 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2412 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2417 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2418 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2419 when there are invalid schemas installed
2421 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2425 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2426 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2428 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2431 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2432 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2433 semantics of the interface in each case
2435 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2436 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2438 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2440 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2441 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2442 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2443 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2447 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2450 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2452 * Portability improvements
2454 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2456 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2457 actually support it (like Hurd)
2459 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2461 * Other small API changes/additions
2463 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2464 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2465 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2467 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2469 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2470 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2472 * GMainContext/GSource
2474 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2476 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2477 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2478 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2479 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2480 broken and should probably be fixed.
2482 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2483 require use of a linked list
2487 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2488 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2489 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2491 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2495 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2496 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2497 gphoto, archive, at least).
2499 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2501 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2504 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2505 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2506 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2508 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2510 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2512 * Many documentation improvements
2515 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2516 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2517 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

2564 Brazilian Portuguese
2570 What's new in Glib 2.38
2571 ========================
2573 * Application support
2575 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2576 desktop entry specification
2578 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2579 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2580 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2582 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2583 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2584 to launch other applications
2586 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2587 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2591 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2592 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2593 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2594 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2595 any problems that this may have caused.
2597 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2598 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2599 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2600 (allowing memory savings)
2602 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2603 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2604 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2606 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2607 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2610 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2611 without destroying one of the objects involved
2615 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2616 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2617 with a finite number of cases
2619 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2620 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2622 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2623 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2624 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2625 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2628 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2632 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2633 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2634 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2636 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2638 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2639 and an API to check them
2641 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2642 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2644 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2645 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2649 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2650 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2651 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2654 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2655 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2656 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2658 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2663 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2664 allow for regexp matching on streams
2666 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2667 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2668 g_variant_new_printf()
2672 - we can now generate TAP output
2674 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2675 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2677 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2682 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2804 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
2805 ==============================================
2807 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2808 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2809 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2810 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
2812 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
2813 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
2816 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
2818 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
2819 the key was locked down)

2993 ==============================================
2995 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2996 and a parser API for them is now provided

3060 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
3061 ==============================================
3063 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
3065 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
3066 the destination file
3068 - fix some 'available since' annotations
3070 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

3092 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
3093 ==============================================
3095 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3096 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3097 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3098 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3152 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3153 ==============================================
3155 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3156 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3157 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3158 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3159 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3163 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3164 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3166 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()

3168 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class

3187 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
3188 ==============================================
3190 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3192 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3193 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3195 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3196 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3198 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3211 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3212 ==============================================
3214 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3217 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3218 ready at a specified monotonic time
3220 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3222 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

3324 * Translation updates:
3339 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3340 ==============================================
3342 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3343 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3344 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3345 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3346 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3348 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3349 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3350 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3351 particular, are incompatible.
3353 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3398 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3399 ==============================================
3401 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3402 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3403 causing regressions in applications.
3405 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3406 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3407 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3410 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3411 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3412 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3414 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3416 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3418 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3420 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3422 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3424 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3426 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3428 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3430 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3432 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3483 ==============================================
3485 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3486 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3488 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3489 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3491 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3493 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

4326 ==============================================
4329 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4330 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4331 to an overridden property
4332 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4333 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4335 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4336 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
4338 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

4380 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4381 ==============================================
4383 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4384 moved to GtkApplication.
4386 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4387 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4388 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4389 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4391 * lots of documentation improvements
4393 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4395 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4396 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4398 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4400 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4402 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4404 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4405 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4408 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4409 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
4410 664699 glib: documentation fixes

4413 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4414 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
4415 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
4416 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
4417 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
4418 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
4420 * Translations updated:
4424 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4425 ==============================================
4427 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4428 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4429 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4432 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4433 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4434 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4437 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4438 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4439 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4440 through an idle on the context.
4442 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4443 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4444 fixes here and there.
4446 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4447 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4448 API available outside GLib
4450 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4491 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4492 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4493 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4495 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4498 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4499 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

4514 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4515 =================================================
4517 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4518 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4520 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4521 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4522 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4523 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4524 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4525 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4526 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4527 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4528 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4529 required (and has been deprecated)
4530 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4531 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4532 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4533 without explicit initialisation.
4534 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4535 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4536 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4538 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4539 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4540 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4541 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4542 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4543 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4544 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4546 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4547 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4548 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4549 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4550 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4551 - other implementation details changed
4553 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4554 deprecated/ directory.
4556 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4557 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4558 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4560 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4561 platform over a year ago).
4563 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4564 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4566 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4567 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4569 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4570 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4571 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4572 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4575 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4576 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4579 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4581 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4582 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4584 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4585 in a multi-threaded program
4587 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4588 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4591 - drop -uninstalled variants
4592 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4594 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4595 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4596 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4598 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4600 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4601 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4604 - many code generation updates and improvements
4605 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4608 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4609 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4611 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4613 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4616 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4617 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4619 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4620 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4622 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4624 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4628 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4629 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5055 ==============================================
5057 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5058 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5059 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5060 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5061 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5062 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5064 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5065 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5067 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5069 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
5071 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

5122 * Updated translations:
5131 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5132 ==============================================
5135 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5136 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5137 an 'object manager' pattern:
5138 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5139 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5140 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5141 And server-side implementations:
5142 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5143 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5144 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5148 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5152 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5153 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5154 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5155 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5158 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5159 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5162 * Unix-specific APIs:
5163 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5164 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5165 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5166 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5167 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5168 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5192 * Updated translations
5199 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5200 ==============================================
5203 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5204 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5205 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5208 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5209 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5210 situations has been improved
5213 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5214 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5217 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5218 match strcmp() semantics
5219 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5220 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5221 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5223 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5224 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5227 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5229 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5231 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5232 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5233 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5564 - Support environment passing
5567 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5568 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5570 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5571 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5572 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has

5589 * Translation updates:
5595 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5596 ==============================================
5598 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5599 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5601 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5602 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5604 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5606 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5608 g_settings_get_range
5609 g_settings_range_check
5610 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5612 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5613 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5615 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5616 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5618 g_main_context_invoke
5619 g_main_context_invoke_full
5621 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5622 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5623 looking for default applications.
5625 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5626 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5627 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5628 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5630 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5631 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5632 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5891 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5893 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5894 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5895 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5896 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5899 There have been many other improvements, however:
5902 - vastly improved test coverage
5903 - old tests moved to the gtester framework

6026 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6027 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6028 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6029 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6032 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6033 -Bsymbolic-functions
6034 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6035 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6036 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6037 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6038 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6041 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6042 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6043 nobody was doing that.
6044 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6046 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6047 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6049 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6050 have a serial number
6051 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6053 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6055 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6056 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6057 has finished running on GDBus services.
6058 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6059 this due to the obvious race)
6060 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6061 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6064 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6065 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6066 arguments and different behaviour
6067 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6068 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6069 strings instead of utf8 strings
6070 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6071 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6072 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6073 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6074 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6075 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6076 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6077 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6078 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6081 - improved documentation
6082 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6083 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6084 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6085 overridden using <override>.
6086 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6088 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6089 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6090 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6091 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6092 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6093 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6094 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6095 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6096 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6097 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6098 being set due to a premature free
6099 - command line tool: bash completion support
6100 - chain up in _finalize
6101 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6103 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6104 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6105 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6107 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6108 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6109 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6110 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6111 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6115 - always intern GBinding prop names
6116 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6117 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6118 - GNode docs improvements
6119 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6120 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6121 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
6125 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
6126 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6127 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6128 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6129 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6130 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6131 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6132 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6134 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6135 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
6136 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6137 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6138 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
6139 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
6140 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
6141 610784 array test failing

6625 - GVariantBuilder and GVariantIter are now merged.
6626 - The variable arguments API is now merged.
6627 - The parser will be in a future release.
6630 - Remove GUtf8InputStream (which never appeared in a stable release)

6742 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
6743 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
6745 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
6746 when g_type_init() is called.
6747 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.

6825 ===================================================
6828 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6829 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6830 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6831 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6832 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6833 while loading or saving it.
6834 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6835 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6836 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6839 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6840 interfaces to dynamic types.
6843 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
6844 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

7564 ===================================================
7566 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
7567 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
7568 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and

7570 also uses less memory overall.

7575 that a GError is set or unset
7577 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7579 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7580 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7582 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7583 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

9197 =================================================
9199 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
9200 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
9201 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
9203 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
9204 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
9207 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
9208 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
9209 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
9211 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
9213 * Memory management:
9214 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
9215 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
9216 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
9217 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
9218 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
9219 never worked as intended.
9220 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
9221 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
9222 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
9223 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
9224 efficient and scalable implementation.
9225 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
9228 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
9229 unnecessary recursion.

9234 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
9238 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
9241 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
9242 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
9243 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
9247 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
9248 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
9249 since they are in glib.h

10210 * Added a simple callback-based parser for XML-like files (GMarkup). [Havoc]
10211 * Fixed confusions between comparison functions that return <0, 0, >0
10212 and equaility functions that return FALSE,TRUE. [Sebastian]
10213 * Added safe/portable temporary file manipulation functions. [Tor]
10214 * autoconf improvements. [Raja]
10215 * Many documentation improvements.
10220 * Added boxed and pointer types. [Tim/Jonathan]
