As our 2629 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs 2630 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used 2631 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain. 2632 2633* Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary 2634 directory for each unit test. (#538) 2635 2636* Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542) 2637 2638* Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191) 2639 2640* Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271) 2641 2642* Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or 2643 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents 2644 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should 2645 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342) 2646 2647* Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide 2648 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489) 2649 2650* Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib 2651 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has 2652 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520) 2653 2654* Various fixes to the Meson build. 2655 2656* Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on 2657 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html. 2658 (!196) 2659 2660* `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See 2661 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208) 2662 2663* Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently 2664 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app 2665 upgrades with flatpak. (!250) 2666 2667* Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor 2668 portal backends. (!317) 2669 2670* Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for 2671 debugging. (!384) 2672 2673* Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387) 2674 2675* Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow 2676 fixes. (!411) 2677 2678* Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan). 2679 2680* Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in 2681 TLS 1.3. (!478) 2682 2683* Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful 2684 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on 2685 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489) 2686 2687* Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself 2688 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500) 2689 2690* Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection` 2691 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when 2692 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This 2693 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520) 2694 2695* Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522) 2696 2697* Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528) 2698 2699* Bugs fixed: 2700 - #107 The "g_key_file_get_comment" interface returns comment with unexpected new line symbol at the end 2701 - #179 g_object_unref assert in debug code 2702 - #277 'destroy_data' in g_cclosure_new is registered as finalize notifier instread invalidate. 2703 - #538 Add helpers to redirect XDG_*_HOME to a temp dir for unit tests 2704 - #542 gdbus-codegen does not honor "Property.EmitsChangedSignal" annotations 2705 - #656 check for -Werror=format-security broken 2706 - #734 Provide a way to instantiate a GDBusProxy-derived class from a GDBusConnection and a object path without blocking 2707 - #827 gmain: Clarify that g_source_set_callback() is safe on attached sources 2708 - #1055 Provide alignment macros 2709 - #1119 GVolumeMonitor: Results don't reflect current state but state when application was launched 2710 - #1191 add g_assert_equal_variants 2711 - #1261 Add option to leave <default> in gschema empty 2712 - #1271 fstab binds appear as mounts (x-gvfs-hide is being ignored) 2713 - #1310 gdbusproxy: make g-name-owner property useful with unique names 2714 - #1313 Meson: Rework the config.h generation 2715 - #1342 Automatically realign data passed to g_variant_new_from_bytes() or g_variant_new_from_data() 2716 - #1343 g_date_set_parse: Parses "September" in Polish incorrectly 2717 - #1362 Incorrect documentation about GSettings child add/remove notifications 2718 - #1452 GFileInfo: unable to retrieve correct modification time of links and mounted volumes on Windows 2719 - #1471 Incorporate oss-fuzz fuzz targets into GLib 2720 - #1489 Use `ld -b binary` to speed up GResource generation for linking 2721 - #1498 distcheck fails in distclean 2722 - #1506 error: redefinition of typedef 'GKqueueFileMonitor' 2723 - #1509 test_timeval_to_iso8601_overflow: 'out' should be NULL 2724 - #1513 GIcon regression? 2725 - #1514 gio/appinfo test sometimes fails in CI 2726 - #1518 /network-monitor/create-in-thread fails in (LXC) containers on glib-2-56 2727 - #1520 Change conditions for installing m4 macros 2728 - #1522 Trash not working on NTFS folder accessed from symlink 2729 - #1523 GIO NetworkMonitor doesn't reflect the current network state 2730 - #1525 GTask allows (buggy) application code to cause callback to be called twice, without warning 2731 - #1527 Meson doesn't install data for installed-tests 2732 - #1528 Meson tests are hard to debug in an autobuilder environment 2733 - #1530 tests/mainloop-test appears to be flaky 2734 - #1535 meson: installed-test metadata not run in TAP mode 2735 - #1536 meson: spurious dependencies on convenience libraries in .pc files 2736 - #1537 meson: absolute paths to ${builddir} included in gtk-doc HTML 2737 - #1538 meson: G_HAVE_GROWING_STACK defined differently 2738 - #1539 meson: Some files are unnecessarily installed executable 2739 - #1541 meson: timeloop-closure test not installed 2740 - #1542 meson: /usr/lib/glib2.0/installed-tests/glib/gdbus-peer: error while loading shared libraries: libgdbus-example-objectmanager.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 2741 - #1544 meson: gtester-report #! not replaced with ${PYTHON} 2742 - #1546 Cross-compilation fails in 2.58 2743 - #1556 build: Too long file path issue with meson on Windows 2744 - #1562 GDate test suite fails with latest glibc 2745 - #1570 ghash.c:694:27: left shift of 1 by 31 places cannot be represented in type 'int' 2746 - #1572 Flags validation fails 2747 - #1575 g_date_time_format() should have format attribute 2748 - #1576 Fails to build with Meson on Debian armel (armv5te EABI softfloat little-endian) 2749 - #1580 glib-compile-resources using strings breaks building e.g. GTK+ on MS Visual C, which limits strings to 65535 chars 2750 - #1581 Memory used for reference counted data might be misaligned. 2751 - #1588 Moving a bookmark item to the same URI causes a crash 2752 - #1589 g_log_writer_is_journald memoizes a single result, even though it accepts a parameter 2753 - #1590 tests: g-file-info-filesystem-readonly fails if run more than once with fuse & bindfs installed 2754 - #1594 Return value of g_dbus_connection_get_unique_name not annotated as nullable 2755 - #1600 g_timeout_source_new_seconds overflows when given interval > (G_MAXUINT / 1000) 2756 - #1601 appinfo test fix is defective 2757 - #1605 g_date_time_format fails when used with non ASCII format string on POSIX locale 2758 - #1615 gdbus-codegen not generating nullable annotation 2759 - !196 [RFC] build: Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+ 2760 - !200 Add a new GTlsError to indicate protocol downgrade attacks 2761 - !208 GHashTable improvements 2762 - !219 glocalfilemonitor: Fallback to poll file monitor for NFS 2763 - !238 W32 GFileInfo improvements 2764 - !250 Application replace 2765 - !264 glib-compile-resources: encode data as string 2766 - !268 build: simplify alloca checks.

This 2911 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built 2912 with Meson or autotools. See: 2913 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html 2914 2915* Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266. 2916 2917* Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old 2918 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313. 2919 2920* Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274. 2921 2922* Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279. 2923 2924* Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so` 2925 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()` 2926 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to 2927 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280. 2928 2929Bugs fixed: 2930 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS 2931 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature 2932 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265) 2933 !265 Network monitor again 2934 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file 2935 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser 2936 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array 2937 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32 2938 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313 2939 !267 ci: Add an autotools job 2940 2941* Translation updates: 2942 Czech 2943 Galician 2944 Indonesian 2945 Italian 2946 Kazakh 2947 Korean 2948 Turkish 2949 2950 2951Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3 2952================================== 2953 2954* G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated 2955 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously 2956 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses 2957 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465. 2958 2959* Many minor documentation fixes. 2960 2961* Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972. 2962 2963* Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328. 2964 2965* Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444. 2966 2967* Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to 2968 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical).

Please watch for and report unintentional fallout. 4408 4409* New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math. 4410 4411* other fixes 4412 4413Bugs fixed: 4414 696324 gtester-report doesn't work with Python 3.x 4415 719966 glib: Add missing (nullable) and (optional) annotations 4416 752837 gobject and glib-compile-resources rely on .CRT$XCU section, no longer works with Win 10 UCRT (VS 2015) 4417 755364 make gtkdoc-check happy again 4418 756134 Segmentation fault on calling g_simple_action_group_add_action with bad action constructor call 4419 756179 gwin32.c: Replace VerifyVersionInfoW() with RtlGetVersion() due to API deprecation 4420 756988 GSequence should document each function's complexity 4421 757294 Move G_POLLFD_FORMAT to glibconfig.h 4422 757374 macros: clean up "inline" mess 4423 757451 doc: fix g_task_attach_source() example 4424 757628 gio tests fail to build when cross compiling 2.46.1 4425 757693 Invalid free in g_local_file_trash() 4426 757742 Fix up annotations in ghash.c 4427 758181 GTask: fix wrong example code 4428 4429Translations updated: 4430 Greek 4431 Hebrew 4432 Hungarian 4433 Norwegian bokmål 4434 Portuguese 4435 Scottish Gaelic 4436 Simplified Chinese 4437 Spanish 4438 4439Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.1 4440================================== 4441 4442* The Unicode support has been updated to version 8.0 of the Unicode standard 4443 4444* GDesktopAppInfo no longer sets the DISPLAY environment variable when 4445 launching apps.

Instead, it now has a base 4504 number of threads that can be used "for free", but will gradually 4505 add more threads to the pool if too much time passes without any 4506 tasks completing. 4507 4508 The exact behavior may continue to change in the future, and it's 4509 possible that some future version of GLib may not do any 4510 rate-limiting at all. As a result, you should no longer assume that 4511 GTask will rate-limit tasks itself (or, by extension, that calls to 4512 certain async gio methods will automatically be rate-limited for 4513 you). If you have a very large number of tasks to run, and don't 4514 want them to all run at once, you should rate-limit them yourself. 4515 4516* Disable runtime-deprecation warnings 4517 4518* Fix marshalling of flags on bigendian 64bit architectures 4519 4520* Translation updates 4521 Brazilian Portuguese 4522 Danish 4523 German 4524 Latvian 4525 Russian 4526 Turkish 4527 4528 4529Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.8 4530================================== 4531 4532* utf8 validation and utf8-to-ucs4 conversion are faster 4533 4534* Small speedups to property change notification 4535 4536* Various other small optimizations for GQuark, GData 4537 4538* Bugs fixed: 4539 696426 GParamSpecTypeInfo do not need to be static 4540 735429 Cleanup MSVC Project Files Generation 4541 738504 Optimize UTF-8 decoding by unrolling branches and expressions 4542 742903 Add missing (transfer) annotation to GString 4543 748633 g_set_object order of operations 4544 754431 Fix build of glib/gstrfuncs.c on Windows 4545 754560 gioerror: Add more mappings for WinSock error codes 4546 754582 Glib cannot compile 4547 754601 Make g_strerror work with non-glibc POSIX systems 4548 754636 tests/unicode-encoding test fails for glib 2.45.7 on x86-64 4549 754788 more g_strerror stuff 4550 754831 autocleanups: Add GString type 4551 754924 Improve test coverage of g_utf8_validate() by added known-... 4552 754986 Avoid unnecessary signal emission during draw 4553 4554* Translation updates: 4555 Italian 4556 Kazakh 4557 Korean 4558 Lithuanian 4559 Slovenian 4560 Swedish 4561 4562 4563Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.7 4564================================== 4565 4566* Add G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_IS_VOLATILE for use by non-POSIX-like 4567 backends (e.g. cloud storage). 4568 4569* GFileMonitor: Make the inotify backend work with atomic renames again 4570 4571* GSettings: change notification is again working unconditionally 4572 4573* GListStore has a sort function now 4574 4575* Test infrastructure: 4576 - Tests are now required to have unique names 4577 - TAP support has been improved 4578 - A macro for asserting that two memory regions have identical content 4579 has been added 4580 4581* Bugs fixed: 4582 708525 A "g_file_query_info" on the file path "/sys/kernel/debug/hid"... 4583 742849 inotify: send paired events to both sides 4584 744060 Update GObject tutorial documentation to use G_DECLARE_FINAL_T... 4585 747364 Fix GError leak in g_file_query_writable_namespaces() 4586 749492 Support file creation time on FreeBSD and NetBSD 4587 752769 (g_socket_receive_message | g_socket_send_message) performance 4588 753745 glib-genmarshal still needed for cross-compilation 4589 754152 Add g_list_store_sort 4590 754211 Memory leak in g_file_enumerator_iterate () 4591 754264 GLib 2.44 certificate chain construction fails if the PEM incl... 4592 754283 gtestutils: add g_assert_cmpmem() 4593 754284 gtestutils: print the TAP test plan first, not last 4594 754286 misc gtestutils fixes 4595 754307 size of array '_GStaticAssertCompileTimeAssertion_3387' is neg... 4596 4597 4598* Translation updates: 4599 Chinese (Taiwan) 4600 French 4601 Galician 4602 Greek 4603 Hebrew 4604 Hungarian 4605 Indonesian 4606 Polish 4607 Portuguese 4608 4609 4610Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.6 4611================================== 4612 4613* Fix a test failure and a build failure 4614 4615Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.5 4616================================== 4617 4618* GNetworkMonitor now provides information about metered networks 4619 4620* g_mem_set_vtable has been deprecated; it has not been working for 4621 quite a while.

Such elements typically occur when translations are merged 4776 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct 4777 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo 4778 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element. 4779 4780* The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends 4781 have seen major improvements. 4782 4783 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will 4784 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been 4785 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new 4786 files appear. 4787 4788 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context. 4789 4790 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread. 4791 4792 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained. 4793 4794* The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict 4795 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations. 4796 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain 4797 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking 4798 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when 4799 you use the --strict option. 4800 4801* The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed, 4802 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed 4803 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time. 4804 4805* GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask. 4806 4807* The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types 4808 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over 4809 default handlers for a generic supertype. 4810 4811* Bug fixes: 4812 627285 inotify file monitor hardwired delay 4813 631597 Segmentation fault in append_escaped_text 4814 661767 merge/improve various bits of run-in-thread functionality 4815 687223 cleverer GThreadPool management 4816 711547 win32: silence some build warnings 4817 719966 glib: Add missing (nullable) and (optional) annotations 4818 726447 Possibly an error in text string 4819 728663 W32: wrong stat struct is used when built with MinGW-w64 4820 728669 W32: GLocalFile can't measure size of files larger than 2^32... 4821 730188 gsocket: Document FD ownership with g_socket_new_from_fd() 4822 733325 Several regex tests fail with pcre3 8.35 4823 738207 Add a way to set SO_SENDBUF and SO_RECVBUF on listener (and... 4824 739850 GClosure: add valgrind hints 4825 741791 gmain: Save errno when handling unix signals 4826 744282 gvfs-open for application/x-virt-viewer changed behaviour bet... 4827 745255 Add support for copying sessions between GTlsClientConnections 4828 745745 gdbus: fix out-of-bound array access 4829 745821 Don't use __alloc_size__ attribute with clang 4830 746749 GLib-GIO:ERROR:inotify-kernel.c:327:ik_source_dispatch: ass... 4831 746753 Glib-compile-resources --generate-header not using ".h" as ... 4832 747209 glib-compile-schemas ought to reject repeated <summary> and... 4833 747349 Conversion of gdbus to use GTask causes deadlocks 4834 747363 gatomic: Add missing new line in API doc comment 4835 747472 Don't ignore already-installed schemas with multiple <summa... 4836 747541 gdbus segfaults with invalid --dest 4837 747772 Having hardcoded utf8 strings in the source code does not p... 4838 748019 gsocketconnection: Fix copy-pasto in documentation 4839 748177 not all test schemas are distributed, "make distcheck" fails 4840 4841* Translation updates: 4842 Basque 4843 Czech 4844 Danish 4845 Finnish 4846 German 4847 Hebrew 4848 Icelandic 4849 Norwegian bokmål 4850 Russian 4851 Turkish 4852 4853 4854Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92 4855=================================== 4856 4857GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes 4858before the release of 2.44.0. 4859 4860 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts 4861 4862 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now 4863 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the 4864 xml will build without warnings.

NULL pointer dereferences. 5348 5349* Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types 5350 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata). 5351 5352* use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn handling of desktop 5353 files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env() 5354 5355* add support for g_desktop_app_info_get_implementations() to find 5356 desktop files that have an Implements= line for a given interface 5357 5358* GHmac has gained SHA-512 support 5359 5360* support the new mimeapps specification (most notably, moving the 5361 assoications/defaults configuration to ~/.config/mimeapps.list). 5362 5363* libgobject is now linked -Wl,-z,nodelete when possible to avoid errors 5364 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself 5365 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded 5366 5367* ... and many other bug fixes. 5368 5369 623552 glib warns if backtrace.py is not present 5370 667468 glib-2.30.2:

5426Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92 5427===================================================== 5428 5429This is a release candidate for 2.40.0. 5430 5431* g_test_run() no longer runs tests in exactly the order they are 5432 registered; instead, it groups them according to test suites (ie, 5433 path components) like the documentation always claimed it did. In 5434 some cases, this can result in a sub-optimal ordering of tests, 5435 relative to the old behavior. The fix is to change the test paths to 5436 properly group together the tests that should run together. (eg, if 5437 you want to run test_foo_simple(), test_bar_simple(), and 5438 test_foo_using_bar() in that order, they should have test paths like 5439 "/simple/foo", "/simple/bar", "/complex/foo-using-bar", not 5440 "/foo/simple", "/bar/simple", "/foo/using-bar" (which would result 5441 in test_foo_using_bar() running before test_bar_simple()). 5442 5443 (The behavior actually changed in GLib 2.36, but it was not 5444 documented at the time, since we didn't realize it mattered.) 5445 5446There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have 5447been fixed. 5448 5449* Bugs fixed: 5450 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal() 5451 723899 G_DEFINE_TYPE() causes compiler warnings with clang due to foo_get_instance_private 5452 724859 Let the test_wait_until() test also run on non-*nix 5453 724916 gio unmount code makes XFCE's Thunar crash 5454 725651 GSubprocessLauncher: Does not copy the calling process environment. 5455 725656 Unskip GVariantDict 5456 725891 gio tests: add codegen to BUILT_SOURCES 5457 726046 Recent commit created symbolic icons issues 5458 5459* Translations: 5460 Chinese 5461 French 5462 Korean 5463 Latvian 5464 Norwegian bokmål 5465 Portuguese 5466 Russian 5467 Traditional Chinese 5468 5469Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91 5470===================================================== 5471 5472This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning 5473clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on 5474pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have 5475pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This 5476release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition 5477of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there. 5478 5479New API: g_str_to_ascii() 5480 5481* Fixed bugs: 5482 670144 unconditional use of CLOCK_MONOTONIC is broken 5483 673607 invalid assumption in g_cond_wait_until() / g_get_monotonic_time() API 5484 710142 Add more impressive transliteration to GLib 5485 722360 make check fails 5486 722604 (partial) Various tests are failing with 2.39.3 5487 723316 g_hash_table_iter_remove() should be explicit whether or not it is safe while iterating the table 5488 724609 Fix build of GIO on Windows 5489 724687 gmain: make monotonic time really monotonic, everywhere 5490 724706 gsource: document priority of child sources 5491 724707 some GSocket source improvements 5492 724839 GMainContext: some source ID cleanups 5493 724858 Dist gtranslit-data.h 5494 724994 Missing icons for bookmarks in file chooser 5495 725023 Can no longer find apps by executable/desktop file name 5496 5497* Translations: 5498 Lithuanian 5499 Polish 5500 Thai 5501 5502Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.4 to GLib 2.39.90 5503==================================================== 5504 5505* Fixed bugs: 5506 625408 make GVariant dictionaries more useful 5507 660809 document that if you fail a precondition check, documented guarantees do not apply 5508 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects 5509 679957 g_inet_address_new_from_string is not able to handle dots and numbers IPv4 addresses 5510 712837 gvariant: Document the need to cast varargs when constructing GVariants 5511 721458 g_simple_async_result_is_valid has a NULL check for the wrong source_tag 5512 721977 improve split handling of command line arguments 5513 722033 win32: fixup lib.exe invocation 5514 723422 Fix g_socket_get_available() with TCP on Windows 5515 723616 gio/tests: fix race when generating code 5516 724001 gsubprocess: Fix a broken link in the documentation 5517 724124 glib/tests/collate.c fails if no en_US locale 5518 724126 intermittent GApplication test failure: /gapplication/local-actions: lines of output permuted 5519 724233 gsocketservice: Note g_socket_listener_close() for closing open sockets 5520 724239 soup_session_queue_message -

use POSIX-specified <poll.h> over <sys/poll.h> 5589 5590 - many improvements to Visual Studio projects and and some build 5591 fixes for Windows 5592 5593 * tests 5594 - a very large number of improvements in test coverage 5595 5596 - don't report skipped tests as failures 5597 5598 - return 77 if we skip all tests in an executable 5599 5600 - improve gtest documentation and fix some minor issues 5601 5602 - fix g_test_trap_reached_timeout() return value 5603 5604 - remove some dead code uncovered during test coverage expansion 5605 5606 - Use tap mode for installed tests too, when using tap 5607 5608 * fix races in unix signal handling 5609 5610 * make our GVariant-based commandline tools (glib-compile-schemas, 5611 gdbus, gapplication) print out GVariant parse errors in context 5612 5613 * GApplication now has a --gapplication-service command line switch to 5614 turn any GApplication into a service 5615 5616 * improve compatibility of GApplication and GOptionContext 5617 5618 * fix gsettings.m4 wrt. builddir != srcdir with non-recursive make 5619 5620 * use a directory monitor in GKeyfileSettingsBackend 5621 5622 * improve robustness of some GIcon classes 5623 5624Bugs fixed 5625 141251 poll(2) is in <poll.h>, not <sys/poll.h> per SUS standard 5626 613732 [PATCH] gobject.py: Don't install frame filters when GDB does not support them 5627 708212 g_variant_parser_error_get_quark() has unexpected name. 5628 710965 GApplication: add --gapplication-service switch 5629 711090 periodic failure of spawn-multithreaded async testcase 5630 712171 gsettings.m4: @GSETTINGS_RULES@: Support srcdir != builddir with nonrecursive make 5631 712630 Revert "gsettings m4: check for .xml in src/builddir" 5632 715028 GVariant: add way to print context of parse errors 5633 719344 Fix the various test programs (or GLib itself) on Windows 5634 720263 gtestutils: skipping a test should count as success, not failure 5635 720539 gdbus-codegen: Fix crasher in goa-using apps 5636 720635 Make gdb pretty-printers compatible with Python3 5637 720891 g_settings_get_child does not inherit the backend 5638 721034 glib 2.38.2 cannot be compiled with SunStudio Compiler under Solaris 5639 721059 g_subprocess_launcher_set_environ vs "environ" 5640 721074 kqueue: deadlock 5641 721087 Missing -lselinux in pkg-config --libs --static gio-2.0 5642 721324 Error message is printed to stdout 5643 721624 Regression in GTest framework reorders existing test cases 5644 721625 backwards NEWS entry about g_source_remove change 5645 721796 insufficient escaping in g_dbus_annotation_info_generate_xml() 5646 721947 Improve GApplication ⇔ GOptionContext compatibility 5647 5648Translations updated: 5649 Brazilian Portuguese 5650 Galician 5651 Greek 5652 Hebrew 5653 5654Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.1 to GLib 2.39.2 5655=================================================== 5656 5657* Portability 5658 5659 -

GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent 5738 5739 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys: 5740 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary 5741 and description 5742 5743 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a 5744 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default 5745 source. 5746 5747 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir 5748 5749 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings 5750 5751 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set 5752 by the sysadmin) 5753 5754 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a 5755 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default) 5756 5757 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files 5758 5759 * Applications/Actions 5760 5761 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes 5762 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type 5763 after construction) 5764 5765 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action 5766 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description 5767 5768 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an 5769 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN) 5770 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is 5771 not itself at fault for the errant call) 5772 5773 * Appinfo 5774 5775 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk 5776 accesses that are performed in common situations 5777 5778 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications 5779 are installed/removed 5780 5781 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for 5782 installed applications by name, keywords, etc. 5783 5784 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over 5785 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such 5786 as 'my:tag') 5787 5788 * GDBus 5789 5790 - ignore qualified tags, as above 5791 5792 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure 5793 that test programs don't pick them up 5794 5795 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it 5796 5797 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the 5798 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open 5799 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases 5800 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API. 5801 5802 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many 5803 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC. 5804 5805 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very 5806 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in 5807 the testcases, but some in glib itself). 5808 5809 * GIO: 5810 5811 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream 5812 5813 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails 5814 5815 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction 5816 5817Translations updated: 5818 Assamese 5819 Galician 5820 Greek 5821 Spanish 5822 Tamil 5823 5824Bugs fixed: 5825 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes 5826 637257 g_tls_client_connection_gnutls_retrieve_function needs to be able to block 5827 637956 GKeyfileSettingsBackend should ignore file deletions 5828 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema 5829 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files 5830 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key 5831 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is 5832 680838 Need g_settings_schema_source_get_schemas() 5833 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata 5834 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names 5835 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed 5836 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect 5837 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right 5838 697348 GTestDBus should unset DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS, DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE 5839 710133 Emit backward compatible code with gdbus-codegen 5840 710691 glib-networking: locking during implicit handshake 5841 710738 GRand has lame fallback for Windows 5842 710859 Typo in gio docs 5843 710885 Two fixes for GApplication 5844 710962 error: 'F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC' undeclared (first use in this function) 5845 710964 Add g_hash_table_get_key_array() 5846 710991 test: g_debug messages shouldn't affect g_assert_expected_messages 5847 711016 g_settings_list_keys () segfaults for empty schemas 5848 711048 glocalfileinputstream.c allows skip past end of file 5849 711049 Fix build of GLib-GIO 2.39.x on Windows/MSVC 5850 711064 Adding child source to blocked source can cause a segfault 5851 711070 Copying a symlink over another one segfaults 5852 711099 gapplication test failure 5853 711520 GDesktopAppInfo: allow more than one level of legacy folder prefixes 5854 711556 Add GAppInfoMonitor 5855 711557 Add g_desktop_app_info_search() 5856 711600 trivial portability fix 5857 711632 The desktop-app-info test fails during make check 5858 711754 gmain: Fix use of uninitialized memory in sigaction structure 5859 711755 private: Use threading primitives correctly in private test 5860 711756 gthreadpool: Don't pass bad data to GThreadPool sorter 5861 711768 Fix memory leaks in libgmodule tests 5862 711775 utils: Don't free memory owned by glib in test 5863 711782 boxed: Fix double free in boxed unit tests 5864 711803 gsubprocess: Fix a number of leaks and a segfault 5865 711808 gtestdbus: Fix leak of GMainLoop 5866 5867Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0 5868==================================================== 5869 5870 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.) 5871 5872 * GNotification 5873 5874 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell 5875 5876 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on 5877 them can restart the application with an action (via 5878 DBusActivatable) 5879 5880 * GSubprocess 5881 5882 - new API for launching subprocesses 5883 5884 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc. 5885 5886 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python 5887 5888 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created 5889 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr 5890 5891 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool 5892 5893 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps 5894 5895 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application 5896 actions and listing apps and actions 5897 5898 - bash tab completion is supported 5899 5900 * GDesktopAppInfo changes: 5901 5902 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call 5903 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs) 5904 5905 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with 5906 DBusActivatable=true 5907 5908 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and 5909 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending 5910 desktop file index) 5911 5912 * File monitors 5913 5914 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring 5915 5916 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base 5917 class and inotify backend 5918 5919 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when 5920 the main context is not running (or is blocked) 5921 5922 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the 5923 GLib worker thread 5924 5925 * GSettings 5926 5927 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a 5928 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash 5929 when there are invalid schemas installed 5930 5931 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc. 5932 5933 * GIO 5934 5935 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the 5936 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated 5937 5938 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at 5939 construction time 5940 5941 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs. 5942 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected 5943 semantics of the interface in each case 5944 5945 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above 5946 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility) 5947 5948 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris 5949 5950 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we 5951 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the 5952 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via 5953 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread) 5954 5955 * GKeyFile 5956 5957 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the 5958 value as an integer 5959 5960 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file() 5961 5962 * Portability improvements 5963 5964 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it 5965 5966 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't 5967 actually support it (like Hurd) 5968 5969 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists 5970 5971 * Other small API changes/additions 5972 5973 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of 5974 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like 5975 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index. 5976 5977 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose 5978 5979 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch 5980 G_LOG_ERROR messages 5981 5982 * GMainContext/GSource 5983 5984 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter 5985 5986 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you 5987 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some 5988 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but 5989 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already 5990 broken and should probably be fixed. 5991 5992 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not 5993 require use of a linked list 5994 5995 * GObject 5996 5997 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated 5998 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now 5999 officially completely illegal and will abort the program 6000 6001 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0 6002 6003 * Bug fixes 6004 6005 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should 6006 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp, 6007 gphoto, archive, at least). 6008 6009 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code 6010 6011 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager 6012 client 6013 6014 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to 6015 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation 6016 (which shared exactly the same bug) 6017 6018 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors 6019 6020 - many other small fixups (see bug list) 6021 6022 * Many documentation improvements 6023 6024Bugs fixed: 6025 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing 6026 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART 6027 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects 6028 672102 GSubprocess class 6029 684842 Seeks on GMemoryOutputStream don't have opaque semantics 6030 688492 Add a notification API 6031 691581 g_output_stream_real_splice_async doesn't use overriden read/write_async functions 6032 702516 gfileutils: Make -Werror=format-nonliteral happy 6033 704218 New gapplication(1) tool 6034 704593 g_setenv: on some systems (BSD, OSX…), setting a variable to NULL crashes the system 6035 704882 GLocalDirectoryMonitorClass mount_notify field is useless 6036 704887 file monitoring improvements 6037 705029 Support for Solaris credentials 6038 705688 g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas 6039 706254 Afp backend cannot copy files 6040 707887 Attempting to create GObject Property with underscore prefix segfaults 6041 708042 gapplication: don't rely on cmdline being finalized immediately 6042 708265 add support for GNU/Hurd in GLib D-Bus Library 6043 708266 fix error code checks when SOCK_CLOEXEC is defined but not supported 6044 708529 xdgmime: valgrind warns about invalid reads 6045 708677 incorrect object path 'deskop' used in gio/gdbusobjectmanagerclient.c 6046 708714 Typo in docs of GLIB_VERSION_2_40 macro. 6047 708753 gdesktopappinfo: Call g_file_get_path() on demand 6048 708793 glib build fails with clang < 3.1: error: expected ';' after top level declarator 6049 708828 GDBusProxy: add the ability to call methods on non autostarted proxies 6050 708860 glib-2.38.0 doesn't build on Solaris 10 6051 708972 gnetworking.h in tarball screws up out-of-source builds 6052 709113 [PATCH] Main loop dispatch path has needless linked list 6053 709227 Update to unicode 6.3.0 6054 709301 goutputstream: Add clear warning about short writes to _write_bytes() and async version 6055 709326 GDesktopAppInfo crashes creating a DBusActivatable app without a filename 6056 709440 Fix overloading of "source" and "target" terminology in GBinding 6057 709615 Cannot use g_test_expect_message with g_error 6058 709753 Add helpers for string matches when using GtkSearchBar-like widget 6059 709898 Expose thumbnail validity in GFile attributes 6060 709966 Remove outdated documentation 6061 709994 Minor fix for HACKERS doc to direct hackers to proper help file 6062 709995 Obsolete makefile rules 6063 710002 G_MAXUINT may be assigned as duplicate source id 6064 710313 Memory leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 with invalid integer values 6065 710345 [Patches] Fix some redundant-decls 6066 710496 g_locale_to/from_utf8() doc updated. 6067 710625 g_file_error_from_errno: Remove unneeded breaks 6068 710666 Frame clock related bug fixes 6069 710724 gmain: Warn when g_source_remove() fails 6070 710726 Work around D-Bus bug with path_namespace='/' match rules 6071 6072Translations: 6073 Assamese 6074 Brazilian Portuguese 6075 Indonesian 6076 Russian 6077 Tamil 6078 Traditional Chinese 6079 6080What's new in Glib 2.38 6081======================== 6082 6083 * Application support 6084 6085 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the 6086 desktop entry specification 6087 6088 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application 6089 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for 6090 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications 6091 6092 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop 6093 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus 6094 to launch other applications 6095 6096 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application 6097 to allow the shell to show that it is busy 6098 6099 * GObject 6100 6101 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant. 6102 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that 6103 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object 6104 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate 6105 any problems that this may have caused. 6106 6107 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a 6108 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an 6109 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances 6110 (allowing memory savings) 6111 6112 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros 6113 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in 6114 private structures and their (now constant) offsets 6115 6116 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from 6117 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init 6118 has returned. 6119 6120 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding 6121 without destroying one of the objects involved 6122 6123 * Icons 6124 6125 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed 6126 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon 6127 with a finite number of cases 6128 6129 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an 6130 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png). 6131 6132 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old 6133 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which 6134 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a 6135 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't 6136 have GdkPixbuf 6137 6138 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs 6139 6140 * Actions and menus 6141 6142 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful 6143 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the 6144 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack 6145 6146 - new API g_menu_remove_all() 6147 6148 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name 6149 and an API to check them 6150 6151 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the 6152 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant) 6153 6154 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used 6155 with most functions, but this is not recommended 6156 6157 * Other GIO 6158 6159 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all 6160 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the 6161 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties 6162 interface 6163 6164 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for 6165 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a 6166 particular directory (akin to 'du'). 6167 6168 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory() 6169 have been added 6170 6171 * Other new API 6172 6173 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to 6174 allow for regexp matching on streams 6175 6176 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow 6177 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and 6178 g_variant_new_printf() 6179 6180 * Testing 6181 6182 - we can now generate TAP output 6183 6184 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with 6185 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases 6186 6187 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to 6188 g_test_trap_fork() 6189 6190 * Other 6191 6192 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library 6193 6194Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.93 to 2.38.0 6195================================================ 6196 6197* fix the documentation for GSourceFuncs 6198 6199* fix compilation on OS X/ppc64 6200 6201Bugs fixed: 708445, 647145 6202 6203Translations updated: 6204 Danish 6205 French 6206 Portuguese 6207 Punjabi 6208 6209Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.92 to 2.37.93 6210================================================ 6211 6212* a couple of bugfixes in the new g_file_measure_disk_usage() API 6213 6214* updated Traditional Chinese translation 6215 6216Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.7 to 2.37.92 6217=============================================== 6218 6219* new API g_file_measure_disk_usage() similar to du(1) 6220 6221* minor fixes 6222 6223* Translation updates: 6224 Assamese 6225 Belarusian 6226 Brazilian Portuguese 6227 Catalan 6228 Czech 6229 Galician 6230 German 6231 Hungarian 6232 Indonesian 6233 Italian 6234 Korean 6235 Korean 6236 Latvian 6237 Lithuanian 6238 Polish 6239 Serbian 6240 Slovenian 6241 Spanish 6242 6243Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.6 to 2.37.7 6244============================================== 6245 6246* GDateTime now supports %:z formatting variations 6247 for timezones.

If you are 6574 loading GLib as a dynamic module, you should be careful to avoid 6575 unloading it, then subsequently loading it again. This never 6576 really worked before, but it is now explicitly undefined behavior. 6577 Note that if g_type_init() was the only explicit use of a GObject 6578 API and you are using linker flags such as --no-add-needed, then 6579 you may have to artificially use some GObject call to keep the 6580 linker from optimizing away -lgobject. We recommend to use 6581 g_type_ensure (G_TYPE_OBJECT) for this purpose. 6582 6583* This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir() 6584 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME 6585 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password. 6586 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the 6587 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback. 6588 6589* The 'flowinfo' and 'scope_id' fields of GInetSocketAddress 6590 (introduced in GLib 2.32) have been fixed to be in host byte order 6591 rather than network byte order. This is an incompatible change, but 6592 the previous behavior was clearly broken, so it seems unlikely that 6593 anyone was using it. 6594 6595This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates. 6596 6597 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to 6598 the destination file 6599 6600 - fix some 'available since' annotations 6601 6602 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code 6603 6604* Bugs fixed: 6605 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code 6606 696014 g_file_copy(): Ensure G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE preserves permissions 6607 6608* Translations updated: 6609 Basque 6610 Czech 6611 Gujarati 6612 Hindi 6613 Hungarian 6614 Japanese 6615 Malayalam 6616 Marathi 6617 Odia 6618 Punjabi 6619 Russian 6620 Tadjik 6621 Tamil 6622 Telugu 6623 6624Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9 6625============================================== 6626 6627This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a 6628source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly 6629ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other 6630reasons).

This is implemented by (effectively) 6689leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check 6690for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change, 6691but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report 6692any problems. 6693 6694Other changes: 6695 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris 6696 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient 6697 * annotations fixes 6698 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value() 6699 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property 6700 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class 6701 * documentation fixes 6702 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals 6703 6704Bugs fixed: 6705 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings. 6706 692827 configure test fails for arpa_nameser.h 6707 692829 new Btrfs support causes build failure on Solaris 6708 693285 GDBusObjectManagerClient: won't emit object-added|removed if name-owner arrives later 6709 693502 Cross-compiling documentation: typo (np -> no) 6710 693673 add g_dbus_address_escape_value() 6711 693694 gio: Fix annotations on g_[async_]initable_new() and friends 6712 6713Translations: 6714 Dutch 6715 Galician 6716 Polish 6717 Serbian 6718 6719Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7 6720============================================== 6721 6722This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes. 6723 6724* Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back 6725 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase. 6726 6727* Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang 6728 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK. 6729 6730* Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings) 6731 6732* a small docs fix 6733 6734* Bugs fixed: 6735 657045 6736 636683 6737 682818 6738 693105 6739 6740* Translations: 6741 Italian 6742 6743Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6 6744============================================== 6745 6746* GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors 6747 to the mainloop 6748 6749* g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become 6750 ready at a specified monotonic time 6751 6752* The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked 6753 6754* GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify 6755 if $HOME is on NFS 6756 6757* The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with 6758 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable 6759 6760* Bugs fixed: 6761 570572 2 make check errors on 6762 592211 No monitoring over NFS mounts 6763 625552 wrong behaviour of GVolume GVolumeMonitor related func... 6764 657729 modernise GMainLoop 6765 658020 GSource for a single GPollFD 6766 678223 g_mutex_free 6767 682560 leak fixes 6768 682819 EINTR-harden all the things 6769 684404 When using g_network_address_address_enumerator_next()... 6770 686853 new GSource fd API 6771 688169 G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED doesn't cover deprecated/gthread.... 6772 688681 build: Make .symbols file canonical on all platforms 6773 690118 Crash when closing last tab of a window using Ctrl-w 6774 691624 glib/gtester.c: missing include 6775 691812 gioinputstream - give task as callback_data not task_data 6776 691866 fails out of source build directory - gnetwork.h not f... 6777 692029 Add new API checking utility 6778 692034 Install an invalidation notifier for GClosure in g_sou... 6779 692058 Broken makefile for gio tests 6780 692079 build failure in gmarkup.c when using gcc 4.8 and buil... 6781 692201 inotify: fix a memleak 6782 692202 gfile: don't report completion twice on g_file_load_co... 6783 692229 Incorrect string formatters in a translation string 6784 692332 GNetworkMonitorNetlink: make the netlink socket cloexec 6785 692360 possibly non-threadsafe code in g_content_type_guess()?

Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME 6876 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password. 6877 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the 6878 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback. 6879 6880* We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to 6881 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not 6882 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in 6883 particular, are incompatible. 6884 6885* Bugs fixed in this release: 6886 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants 6887 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files 6888 602715 [GChecksum] Please add support for SHA512 6889 623187 provide some support for arbitrary setsockopt()s? 6890 629301 .goutputstream files left behind when cancelling I/O 6891 652650 Optimize GDBusMessage serialization 6892 664627 /gapplication/basic test intermittently fails: cmdline re-or... 6893 675516 Win32: Don't start a DBus server when built as static library 6894 679683 replace g_test_trap_fork() 6895 684145 Current Git sources fails to cross-compile for Windows in Li... 6896 686895 file-info: catch thumbnail files in large directory as well 6897 687092 IPv6 <-> IPv4 mismatch when subscribing to multicast (send) 6898 688180 GObject: Minor error in description of floating reference 6899 688319 gthread: add missing AVAILABLE_IN_2_32 annotations 6900 688377 configure: add missing square bracket in AS_IF for memmove 6901 688419 gtask: source_object arguments and return values not annota... 6902 688497 AppInfo: Add sufficient api to port gnome-session from Egg... 6903 688681 build: Make .symbols file canonical on all platforms 6904 688704 Add boxed GType for GThread 6905 688886 Improve the i18n documentation 6906 688931 GMemoryOutputStream: Add new _resizable() constructor usab... 6907 689037 need helper for creating a GFile from a remote commandline... 6908 689377 Fix a compiler warning in GDBus 6909 689538 Source object tag set too late in gsocketlistener 6910 689800 Treat lost+found directory as a hidden file 6911 689847 Add fast repeated typename -> GType resolver 6912 689982 Make GChecksum more fully introspectable 6913 690069 g_unix_open_pipe: Add missing F_SETFD 6914 690083 gfileenumerator: Add a g_file_enumerator_get_child method 6915 690163 Add a pre-configured gio/gnetworking.h for Visual C++ builds 6916 690346 Remove an unneeded escaping in NAMESER_COMPAT_INCLUDE 6917 690348 Fix g_type_add_class_private() name in g_warning 6918 6919* Translation updates: 6920 Assamese 6921 Galician 6922 Hebrew 6923 Hindi 6924 Kannada 6925 Odia 6926 Polish 6927 Spanish 6928 6929 6930Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2 6931============================================== 6932 6933Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was 6934made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to 6935causing regressions in applications. 6936 6937A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no 6938longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first 6939instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659 6940is tracking this. 6941 6942Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which 6943were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may 6944cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch. 6945 6946The remaining changes should be relatively harmless: 6947 6948 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS) 6949 6950 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API 6951 6952 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 6953 6954 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use 6955 6956 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock 6957 6958 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows 6959 6960 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray 6961 6962 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files 6963 6964 * Many other docs and annotations fixes 6965 6966Translations: 6967 6968 Galician 6969 Gujarati 6970 Lithuanian 6971 Serbian 6972 Slovak 6973 Slovenian 6974 6975Bugs closed: 6976 6977 649302 Add support for GNU/FreeBSD 6978 668842 [GSocket] Add caching for the sender address in g_socket_receive_from() 6979 672924 Add annotations for g_filename_from_uri() 6980 673229 glib: Use Returns:, not @returns 6981 677062 (partial) GVariant: Make g_variant_new_from_bytes() public, add more GBytes API 6982 686185 g_date_time_format Transcoding Fails on OSX 6983 686191 g_mutex_get_impl() should use g_atomic_pointer_get() 6984 686797 Box GPollFD to make it introspectable 6985 686810 [regression] Infinite wait in g_task_run_in_thread_sync() 6986 686822 possible dlopen()/dlclose() issue with automatic g_type_init() 6987 686839 mkinstalldirs: Move to glib-mkinstalldirs 6988 686895 file-info: catch thumbnail files in large directory as well 6989 686898 g_unix_signal_source_new: Allow SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 6990 686920 gdbus: Allow GDBusObjectManagerClient to work on peer connections 6991 686921 Remove some of the repetition from gio/tests/Makefile.am 6992 687075 g_spawn_sync diagnostic incorrectly complains about SIGCHLD 6993 687089 g_dbus_connection_export_menu_model(): fix a crash 6994 687098 Repeated g_timeout_add* use can lead to guint overflow 6995 687385 Add some stricter CFLAGS, fix up the code 6996 687441 ABI break in master: g_menu_attribute_hash_iter_get_type, g_menu_link_hash_iter_get_type removed 6997 687516 typo in string: KB should be kB 6998 687540 In Trash folder, Nautilus misinterprets "\n" in filename as a line break 6999 687541 GSignalQuery param_types field needs array annotation 7000 687600 gfileutils.c performs invalid cast of (varargs) open to non-vararg type 7001 687698 plural forms needed 7002 687700 ending spaces 7003 687742 Add support for internal linkage to glib-compile-resources 7004 687801 tests/buffered-input-stream: Fix size of parameter passed 7005 688109 win32 warning/error fixes 7006 688255 'make check' regressed in 138f4c1 because GMarkup error messages changed 7007 688338 [PATCH] gobject/gtype.c: Fix spelling of »exceed« 7008 688370 GDBusError documentation improvement for client-side 7009 688378 g_socket_join_multicast_group not working 7010 688518 gio-kqueue: use O_EVTONLY on MacOS 7011 7012 7013 7014Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1 7015============================================== 7016 7017These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please 7018give feedback if they cause trouble: 7019 7020 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now 7021 automatically disconnected on target object destruction 7022 7023 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set 7024 7025The remaining changes should not cause problems. 7026 7027 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated 7028 7029 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed 7030 7031 * GLib version macros updated 7032 7033 * Update to Unicode 6.2 7034 7035 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in

Custom thread 7607 system implementations are no longer supported (including errorcheck 7608 mutexes). 7609 7610* The thread and synchronisation APIs have been updated. 7611 GMutex and GCond can be statically allocated without explicit 7612 initialisation, as can new types GRWLock and GRecMutex. The 7613 GStatic_______ variants of these types have been deprecated. GPrivate 7614 can also be statically allocated and has a nicer API (deprecating 7615 GStaticPrivate). Finally, g_thread_create() has been replaced with a 7616 substantially simplified g_thread_new(). 7617 7618* The g_once_init_enter()/_leave() functions have been replaced with 7619 macros that allow for a pointer to any gsize-sized object, not just a 7620 gsize*. The assertions to ensure that a pointer to a correctly-sized 7621 object is being used will not work with generic pointers (ie: (void*) 7622 and (gpointer) casts) which would have worked with the old version. 7623 7624* It is now mandatory to include glib.h instead of individual headers. 7625 7626* The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped. 7627 7628* For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public 7629 dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been 7630 private). This means that programs got away with calling 7631 g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their 7632 dependencies. 7633 7634 gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause 7635 such programs to break. 7636 7637 The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency 7638 on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib 7639 versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init(). 7640 7641* g_debug() output is no longer enabled by default. It can be enabled 7642 on a per-domain basis with the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable 7643 like 7644 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=domain1,domain2 7645 or 7646 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all 7647 7648* Bugs fixed:

properties have been loosened. 7912 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag 7913 to an overridden property 7914 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref 7915 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe. 7916 7917* GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set: 7918 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains 7919 7920*

7963============================================== 7964 7965* GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been 7966 moved to GtkApplication. 7967 7968* the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from 7969 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of 7970 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to 7971 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions. 7972 7973* lots of documentation improvements 7974 7975* bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes 7976 7977* the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs 7978 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain) 7979 7980* g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter 7981 7982* new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full() 7983 7984* desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords" 7985 7986* gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not 7987 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins) 7988 7989* Bugs fixed: 7990 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates 7991 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing 7992 664699 glib: documentation fixes 7993 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus 7994 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data 7995 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests 7996 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library 7997 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped 7998 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no 7999 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock 8000 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory 8001 8002* Translations updated: 8003 French 8004 Spanish 8005 8006Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4 8007============================================== 8008 8009* EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus 8010 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there. 8011 There have also been many related improvements to action group 8012 functionality. 8013 8014 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In 8015 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering 8016 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different 8017 types of menubars. 8018 8019* GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when 8020 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context 8021 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these 8022 through an idle on the context. 8023 8024* Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no 8025 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency 8026 fixes here and there. 8027 8028* Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size 8029 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer 8030 API available outside GLib 8031 8032* GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple 8033 connections 8034 8035* Bugs fixed: 8036 600161 Do not use static GTypeInfo and GInterfaceInfo 8037 640077 GFileMonitor: Always send CHANGES_DONE_HINT after a move... 8038 641720 Misleading definition for local_command_line() in GApplic... 8039 648516 Little comment error and 2 useless lines of code 8040 651997 Dummy backend for gapplication 8041 652560 Test for g_ascii_strtod is failing 8042 662208 failure to initialize a GInitable should be considered... 8043 662718 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton should be able to export on multi... 8044 663291 GBytes: Immutable, refcounted sequence of bytes 8045 664406 Need context for a proper translation 8046 664455 Build fixes for GLib GIT master (2.31.x) 8047 664558 GDBusWorker.frozen has a value > 1 in a gboolean 8048 664559 sys/wait.h not available on windows 8049 664617 gdbus segfault error 4 in libgio-2.0.so.0.3102.0 8050 664635 GMemory{Out,In}putStream _async functions break sub-class... 8051 664809 Add command line option to gtester to allow skipping tests 8052 665067 cryptic assertion failure if nonsensical flag combinations... 8053 665184 Check ref. count before reffing/unreffing 8054 665298 Add 'Requires.private: libpcre' to glib-2.0.pc 8055 665391 update documentation around mainloops 8056 665607 ./configure is there for fiddling with cross-compile enviro... 8057 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes... 8058 665685 Add a #define for the max length of a Unicode decomposition 8059 665733 GDBusConnection holds lock while calling destroynotify 8060 8061* Translation updates: 8062 Norwegian bokmål 8063 Spanish 8064 8065 8066Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.0 to 2.31.2 8067============================================== 8068 8069* Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows 8070 8071* glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/ 8072 8073* EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource 8074 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish 8075 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change. 8076 8077* Improve the performance of GObject property notifies. 8078 8079* GDBus: 8080 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it 8081 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection 8082 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality 8083 8084* Deprecations: 8085 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED 8086 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore 8087 8088* docs 8089 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib 8090 8091* GIO: 8092 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching 8093 - various GIO file and stream fixes 8094 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling 8095 8096Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0 8097================================================= 8098 8099This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The 8100list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed. 8101 8102* Major changes to threading and synchronisation 8103 - threading is now always enabled in GLib 8104 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal 8105 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed 8106 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has 8107 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that 8108 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in 8109 single-threaded programs (such as gtester). 8110 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer 8111 required (and has been deprecated) 8112 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit 8113 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated. 8114 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated 8115 without explicit initialisation. 8116 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API. 8117 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated. 8118 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are 8119 deprecated. 8120 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes 8121 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API 8122 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous 8123 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs 8124 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows 8125 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP 8126 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit 8127 have been fixed 8128 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The 8129 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as 8130 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads) 8131 and ability to manipulate the stack size. 8132 - GThread is now a refcounted type 8133 - other implementation details changed 8134 8135* Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate 8136 deprecated/ directory. 8137 8138* New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler 8139 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about 8140 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling). 8141 8142* GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our 8143 platform over a year ago). 8144 8145* It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like 8146 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>. 8147 8148* The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with 8149 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back. 8150 8151* Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is 8152 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared 8153 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing 8154 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now. 8155 8156* GApplication 8157 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup 8158 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves 8159 quit logic) 8160 8161* Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris 8162 8163* Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the 8164 platform defines 'char' as unsigned) 8165 8166* some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv() 8167 in a multi-threaded program 8168 8169* Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile 8170 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime). 8171 8172* pkg-config files: 8173 - drop -uninstalled variants 8174 - remove gobject dependency on gthread 8175 8176* New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are 8177 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related 8178 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems. 8179 8180* SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements 8181 8182* Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and 8183 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility. 8184 8185* GDBus: 8186 - many code generation updates and improvements 8187 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs 8188 8189* GVariant: 8190 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API 8191 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications 8192 8193* GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed 8194 8195* mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available) 8196 instead of mtab 8197 8198* new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from 8199 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean) 8200 8201* use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting 8202 in functions like g_ascii_strtod() 8203 8204* GMappedFile can now be created from an fd 8205 8206* error message strings grammar/i18n fixes 8207 8208* many docs updates 8209 8210* Partial list of bugs closed: 8211 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex. 8212 320888 optimization for g_main_context_wakeup 8213 398418 GChildWatch race condition? 8214 527214 g_timer_elapsed() returns random values 8215 580505 add a way to set/get name for a thread 8216 583511 race condition means g_main_loop_quit() does not work 8217 590808 GKeyFile should have a refcount and a boxed type in GObject 8218 592715 Document that g_str_hash() and g_int_hash() are not NULL safe 8219 631413 Add macros for GSourceFunc return values 8220 632049 not immediately clear what g_variant_get_fixed_array expects 8221 640212 "Error stating file" is not a friendly message 8222 640293 Use xlocale

The action support is not complete yet. 9205 9206* The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality, 9207 which can replace manually created idles in many cases. 9208 New API: 9209 g_main_context_invoke 9210 g_main_context_invoke_full 9211 9212* The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been 9213 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when 9214 looking for default applications. 9215 9216* On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA 9217 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does, 9218 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return 9219 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder. 9220 9221* A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic.

Weird, eh? | 9482+-------------------------------------------------------------------+ 9483 9484The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with 9485glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was 9486being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts 9487of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very 9488serious problems. 9489 9490There have been many other improvements, however: 9491 9492 Build and testing: 9493 - vastly improved test coverage 9494 - old tests moved to the gtester framework 9495 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once 9496 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib 9497 9498 GVariant: 9499 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string() 9500 9501 GDBus: 9502 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages 9503 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage 9504 - improve debug output, add some extra options 9505 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message 9506 explaining why 9507 - sort property names correctly 9508 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection 9509 anyway 9510 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing 9511 9512 GSettings: 9513 - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings 9514 without mapping functions 9515 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation 9516 9517 Binding: 9518 - improve closure support for bindings 9519 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag 9520 9521 Other: 9522 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility 9523 9524Bugs closed: 9525 599590 glib build doesn't look for correct pkg-config 9526 619026 avoid warning in gutils.h when using gcc with -Wconversion 9527 624739 Please fix POTFILES.in 9528 625472 Valgrind claims uninitialized bytes used 9529 625500 g_date_set_time_val documentation doesn't mention local time 9530 625628 GDBusProxy: wrong property name sorting 9531 625753 Incorrect flags used in g_dbus_connection_call_sync() 9532 625827 Expand documentation about error quark naming 9533 625988 builddir != srcdir issues 9534 626107 glibconfig.h is being disted 9535 9536Updated translations: 9537 French 9538 Galician 9539 Hebrew 9540 Norwegian bokmål 9541 Spanish 9542 9543 9544Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12 9545===================================================== 9546 9547+-------------------------------------------------------------------+ 9548| WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending | 9549| messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and | 9550| registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend | 9551| has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is | 9552| required (and will be along soon). | 9553+-------------------------------------------------------------------+ 9554 9555Build: 9556 - cleanup automake setup 9557 - rename configure.in to configure.ac 9558 - various docs fixups 9559 - move glibconfig.h to glib/ 9560 - disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace') 9561 9562GSettings: 9563 - add support for vendor override files (to change the default values 9564 in a schema) 9565 - change GSettingsBackend vtable 9566 - add g_settings_reset() 9567 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties 9568 9569GDBus: 9570 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix 9571 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called 9572 - proper support for file descriptor passing 9573 - new flags parameter for sending messages 9574 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals 9575 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless 9576 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given 9577 - constness fixes for introspection structures 9578 - clean ups to subtree registration API 9579 9580Other: 9581 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions 9582 - GIO: don't blindly assume that SOCK_CLOEXEC is supported 9583 - make GObject property notify freezes threadsafe 9584 - GIO: clean up credentials passing 9585 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE 9586 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection 9587 9588Bugs closed: 9589 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting 9590 617483 Credentials passing 9591 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property 9592 623293 vendor override files 9593 623810 Message serialization bug 9594 623815 Don't check sender for GDBusProxy objects where name is not set 9595 624473 GDBusSubtreeIntrospectFunc return type 9596 624483 GDBusSubtreeEnumerateFunc clarification 9597 624484 GDBusSubtreeDispatchFunc clarification 9598 624754 gdbusaddress.c missing sys/wait.h 9599 624968 div by zero in g_malloc_n family 9600 624991 GSettings mapping for G_TYPE_STRV 9601 625383 Add missing GI annotations 9602 9603Updated Translations: 9604 Armenian 9605 Galician 9606 German 9607 Hebrew 9608 Kazakh 9609 Romanian 9610 Simplified Chinese 9611 Spanish 9612 9613Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11 9614===================================================== 9615 9616+-------------------------------------------------------------------+ 9617| WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. | 9618| These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require | 9619| a new version of GTK+ to be installed. | 9620+-------------------------------------------------------------------+ 9621 9622Build: 9623 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with 9624 -Bsymbolic-functions 9625 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks 9626 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh 9627 - use proper feature test macros for isnan 9628 - use pkg-config to check for zlib 9629 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am 9630 9631GDBus: 9632 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except 9633 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably 9634 nobody was doing that. 9635 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending 9636 outgoing messages 9637 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the 9638 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive 9639 themselves 9640 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already 9641 have a serial number 9642 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment 9643 variable 9644 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new 9645 flags 9646 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created 9647 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal 9648 has finished running on GDBus services. 9649 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing 9650 this due to the obvious race) 9651 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal 9652 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged 9653 9654GVariant: 9655 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed 9656 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different 9657 arguments and different behaviour 9658 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing 9659 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte 9660 strings instead of utf8 strings 9661 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and 9662 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added 9663 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised 9664 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped 9665 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring 9666 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay 9667 - improved gobject-introspection annotation 9668 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type 9669 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser 9670 9671GSettings: 9672 - improved documentation 9673 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs 9674 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the 9675 'extends=' attribute).

This provides the API to 10136 replace GConf. DConf will provide a backend implementation for it. 10137 GConf will also provide a backend implementation to ease the 10138 transition. We provide utilities to assist with schema conversion 10139 and data migration, as well as a porting guide. 10140 10141* Translation updates: 10142 Bengali 10143 Catalan 10144 Danish 10145 Gujarati 10146 Marathi 10147 Thai 10148 Traditional Chinese 10149 10150 10151Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.6 to GLib 2.24.0 10152=================================================== 10153 10154* It is now allowed to call g_thread_init(NULL) multiple times, and 10155 to call glib functions before g_thread_init(NULL) is called 10156 (although the later is mainly a change in docs as this worked before 10157 too). See the GThread reference documentation for the details. 10158 10159* GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically 10160 when g_type_init() is called. 10161 10162* GObject no longer allows to call g_object_set() on construct-only properties 10163 while an object is being initialized. If this behavior is needed, setting a 10164 custom constructor that just chains up will re-enable this functionality. 10165 10166* GMappedFile on an empty file now returns NULL for the contents instead of 10167 returning an empty string. The documentation specifically states that code 10168 may not rely on nul-termination here so any breakage caused by this change 10169 is a bug in application code. 10170 10171* Bug fixes: 10172 613601 buglet in dup_close_on_exec_fd 10173 584284 g_data_input_stream_read_until_async behaves confusingly 10174 613748 Write errors in middle of copy cause hang 10175 613923 splice_stream_with_progress: wrong error handling 10176 613667 Typo in GObject documentation 10177 613618 gvariant format string docs unclear 10178 10179* Translation updates: 10180 Basque 10181 Ukrainian 10182 Vietnamese 10183 10184 10185Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.5 to GLib 2.23.6 10186=================================================== 10187 10188* Class private data: 10189 - support for private data associated with a GTypeClass 10190 10191* GVariant merge is now complete: 10192 - loading functions and parser merged 10193 10194* Windows improvements: 10195 - socket fixes 10196 - various build improvements 10197 - removal of GCC/C99isms in favour of portable code 10198 - drop unmaintained Visual Studio 8 support 10199 10200* Minor API addition: 10201 - g_desktop_app_info_get_filename() 10202 10203* Bugs fixed: 10204 521707 Class private data 10205 612502 build fails on glib/tests/gvariant.c 10206 612832 [GDesktopAppInfo] New function g_desktop_app_info_get_filename 10207 612702 [PATCH] Fix GSocket-related crash on Windows 10208 612736 Improve the documentation about single include 10209 610858 gvariant test fails sometimes 10210 612327 uninitialized variable 10211 10212* New translations: 10213 Afrikaans 10214 LowGerman 10215 10216* Updated translations: 10217 Czech 10218 Finnish 10219 Galician 10220 Greek 10221 Punjabi 10222 Romanian 10223 Serbian 10224 10225 10226Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.4 to GLib 2.23.5 10227=================================================== 10228 10229* New API addition: g_malloc_n() and friends used to implement an 10230 overflow-safe family of g_new() macros. 10231 10232* GVariant: 10233 - GVariantBuilder and GVariantIter are now merged. 10234 - The variable arguments API is now merged. 10235 - The parser will be in a future release. 10236 10237* GIO: 10238 - Remove GUtf8InputStream (which never appeared in a stable release) 10239 for now since it doesn't satisfy the needs of its main intended use 10240 case.

Support for network IO has been added, including a low-level 10770 socket API and a high-level API for network connections and 10771 services. 10772 - Support for read-write access with GIOStream and its subclasses. 10773 -

New helper functions g_cancellable_connect/disconnect to avoid 10811 race conditions when connecting to the "cancelled" signal on 10812 GCancellable. 10813 - New types and methods for dealing with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (and 10814 UNIX domain socket addresses under UNIX). This does not include code 10815 for actual socket I/O. 10816 - GResolver provides asynchronous and cancellable APIs for resolving 10817 hostnames, reverse lookup of IP addresses and resolving SRV records. 10818 10819* Glib now provides hash and comparison functions for int64 and double 10820 types, suitable for use with GHashTable. 10821 10822* GArray, GPtrArray and GByteArray can be ref counted now, and have 10823 boxed types. 10824 10825* Bugs fixed: 10826 572844 Helper for GCancellable::cancelled connect/disconnect 10827 578363 goption docs should be improved 10828 548466 async/cancellable DNS resolver 10829 579830 param spec strings should use P_() 10830 579862 requesting xattr::foo ends up calling getxattr(..., user... 10831 580453 Hash and equal functions for gint64 and gdouble 10832 580450 Reference counting and boxed types for arrays 10833 580194 gresolver doesn't build on Solaris 10834 580301 network: a few issues on old darwin 10835 580299 network: include sys/types.h before sys/socket.h to insur... 10836 572508 gmarkup speedup 10837 580546 g_strtoull() referenced in documentation... 10838 580656 g_key_file_set_string_list erroneously asserts list != NULL 10839 579272 leaks in g_simple_async_result_set_op_res_gpointer 10840 10841 10842* Updated translations: 10843 Catalan (ca) 10844 Pashto (ps) 10845 Spanish (es) 10846 10847 10848Overview of Changes from GLib 2.20.0 to GLib 2.20.1 10849=================================================== 10850 10851* Bug fixes: 10852 575555 Use fsync() when replacing files to avoid data loss on 10853 575708 runaway inotify madness 10854 575270 GVolumeMonitor::mount-pre-unmount not being emitted 10855 577128 glib make check Failed to execute child process... 10856 573673 Always show "backup" directories 10857 578369 g_time_val_from_iso8601() parses timezones incorrectly 10858 578002 Fix a small typo in GFile docs 10859 578017 G_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED docs 10860 10861* Updated translations: 10862 Arabic 10863 Assamese 10864 Basque 10865 Bularian 10866 Brazilian Portuguese 10867 British English 10868 Catalan 10869 Danish 10870 French 10871 Galician 10872 German 10873 Greek 10874 Hungarian 10875 Italian 10876 Japanese 10877 Kannada 10878 Lithuanian 10879 Malayalam 10880 Norwegian bokmål 10881 Oriya 10882 Polish 10883 Punjabi 10884 Russian 10885 Simplified Chinese 10886 Slovenian 10887 Spanish 10888 Swedish 10889 Tamil 10890 10891 10892Overview of Changes from GLib 2.19.9 to GLib 2.20.0 10893=================================================== 10894 10895* The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() + 10896 friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs 10897 with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26, 10898 FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile 10899 constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate 10900 POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale. The 10901 only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an 10902 URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of 10903 looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at 10904 the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile 10905 object with the given URI. 10906 10907* Base64 support: Avoid integer overflows.

This 12634 doesn't break documented use of gprintf.h, but people have been known 12635 to include gprintf.h without including glib.h. 12636 12637* The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. This adds several 12638 new members to the GUnicodeBreakType enumeration. 12639 12640* The support for Solaris threads has been retired. Solaris has provided 12641 POSIX threads for long enough now to have them available on every 12642 Solaris platform. 12643 12644* 'make check' has been changed to validate translations by calling 12645 msgfmt with the -c option. As a result, it may fail on systems with 12646 older gettext implementations (GNU gettext < 0.14.1, or Solaris gettext). 12647 'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not 12648 support ELF visibility attributes. 12649 12650* The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice 12651 allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details. 12652 12653* A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is 12654 intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference' 12655 concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the 12656 inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language 12657 bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type 12658 system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done 12659 carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5 12660 to help with the transition. 12661 12662* Bugs fixed: 12663 328997 64bit pointer trunction in glib slab-allocator 12664 [Pascal Hofstee] 12665 331110 g_cond_broadcast(inform_cond) without holding 12666 inform_mutex [Chris Wilson, Sebastian Wilhelmi] 12667 332093 Fix some leaks in the tests [Kjartan Maraas] 12668 332435 g_utf8_strlen returns wrong value if a maximum 12669 number of bytes to check is specified 12670 [Matthias Clasen] 12671 331367 gslice requires more POSIX-like semantics for 12672 GPrivate destructors [Tor Lillqvist] 12673 12674* Documentation improvements [Matthias, Kang Jeong-Hee, 12675 Tor Lillqvist, Stefan Kost] 12676 12677* Translation updates (el,eu,ka,uk) 12678 12679Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.5 to GLib 2.9.6 12680================================================= 12681 12682* Bugs fixed: 12683 329124 distclean removes README [Kjartan Maraas, Tim Janik] 12684 317679 GRelation field type not documented [Behdad Esfahbod] 12685 329123 Typo in GTime docs [Kjartan Maraas] 12686 12687* Documentation improvements [Sven Herzberg, David 12688 Schleef, Kjartan Maraas, Behdad Esfahbod] 12689 12690* Translation updates (cs,cy,it,ko,pt,sq,sr,sr@Latn,ru 12691 12692Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.4 to GLib 2.9.5 12693================================================= 12694 12695* Memory management: 12696 Runtime debugging support: The slice allocator 12697 can be turned off by setting G_SLICE=always-malloc 12698 in the environment.

All GLib functions 13098 returning or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect 13099 filenames in this encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing 13100 with pathnames have been wrapped. These wrappers are declared in the 13101 header <glib/gstdio.h> which must be included explicitly; it is not 13102 included through <glib.h>. 13103 13104 On current (NT-based) Windows versions, where the on-disk file names 13105 are Unicode, these wrappers use the wide-character API in the C 13106 library. Thus applications can handle file names containing any 13107 Unicode characters through GLib's own API and its POSIX wrappers, 13108 not just file names restricted to characters in the system codepage. 13109 13110 To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against 13111 older versions of GLib, the Windows DLL still provides entry points 13112 with the old semantics using the old names, and applications 13113 compiled against GLib 2.6 will actually use new names for the 13114 functions. This is transparent to the programmer. 13115 13116 When compiling against GLib 2.6, applications intended to be 13117 portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into 13118 consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose 13119 names have been constructed from strings returned from GLib. 13120 13121* Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed 13122 to return UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for 13123 applications compiled against older versions of GLib. 13124 13125* The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that 13126 must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning 13127 with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not. 13128 In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that, 13129 GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed 13130 header files and were never intended to be exported. 13131 13132* To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GLib, when compiled 13133 with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry 13134 points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with 13135 IA__, may be seen when debugging a GLib program. 13136 13137* On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window when printing 13138 warning messages if stdout or stderr are invalid, as they are in 13139 "Windows subsystem" (GUI) applications. Simply redirect stdout or 13140 stderr if you need to see them. 13141 13142* The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many 13143 thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads 13144 implementation on Linux) where it's not possible to call waitpid() 13145 for a child created in a different thread. For this reason, for 13146 maximum portability, you should structure your code to fork all 13147 child processes that you want to wait for from the main thread. 13148 13149* A problem was recently discovered with g_signal_connect_object(); 13150 it doesn't actually disconnect the signal handler once the object being 13151 connected to dies, just disables it. See the API docs for the function 13152 for further details and the correct workaround that will continue to 13153 work with future versions of GLib. 13154 13155* Major new APIs 13156 - GOption, a commandline option parser 13157 - GKeyFile, a parser/editor for the .ini like files 13158 - Functions to support the XDG basedir specification 13159 - Wrappers for common POSIX pathname functions to handle filename 13160 encodings consistently. On Windows, these use UTF-8. 13161 13162* Miscellaneous new functions 13163 - g_filename_display_name() converts filenames in displayable UTF-8 strings 13164 - g_uri_list_extract_uris() splits uri lists 13165 - g_date_get_iso8601_week_of_year() gets ISO 8601 week numbers 13166 - g_log_set_default_handler() installs an alternate default log handler 13167 - g_get_language_names() obtains a list of applicable locale names 13168 - g_strv_length() calculates the length of NULL-terminated string arrays 13169 - g_win32_get_windows_version() determines the Windows version 13170 - G_GNUC_INTERNAL marks functions as non-exported 13171 - glib_check_version() checks the GLib version at runtime 13172 - g_debug() completes the family of logging functions 13173 13174* Performance improvements 13175 - Optimize g_utf8_validate() 13176 - Optimize g_markup_parse_context_parse() 13177 - Reduce signal connection complexity from O(n) to O(1) 13178 - Get rid of many PLT entries for internally used exported symbols 13179 - Reduce code size by removing literal strings from g_return_if_fail() 13180 13181* Other changes 13182 - On Windows, GLib functions that take file name arguments now require 13183 those to be in UTF-8.
