882Overview of changes in GLib 2.67.1
883==================================
884
885* Deprecate `g_time_zone_new()` in favour of `g_time_zone_new_identifier()`,
886  which makes error checking easier (#553)
887
888* Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should
889  adjust your code to not use `volatile` for atomic variables, `GOnce`
890  variables, or mostly anything else (see
891  http://isvolatileusefulwiththreads.in/c/). (#600)
892
893* Support passing file handles to `gdbus` command line tool (work by
894  Norbert Pocs and Tim Waugh) (#961)
895
896* Add `g_assert_cmpstrv()` test convenience function (work by Niels De Graef) (#2015)
897
898* Changes to the behaviour of the `G_URI_FLAGS_SCHEME_NORMALIZE` scheme
899  normalization flag in `GUri` (work by Carlos Garcia Campos) (#2257, !1716)
900
901* Add new `--run-prefix` and `--skip-prefix` options to GTest, to allow running
902  or skipping test suites by prefix (work by Frederic Martinsons) (!1738)
903
904* Fix thread-safety of `GBinding`; see the updated documentation for
905  `g_object_bind_property()` for full details — if your code uses `GBinding`
906  across threads, you should re-check it against the latest documentation, use
907  `g_binding_unbind()` rather than implicitly dropping the binding with your
908  last `g_object_unref()` call, and use `g_binding_dup_source()`/`g_binding_dup_target()`
909  instead of `g_binding_get_source()`/`g_binding_get_target()`
910  (work by Sebastian Dröge) (!1745)

2045* Rework how D-Bus connections are closed/unreffed when `g_test_dbus_down()` is
2046  called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
2047  rather than silently leaking. (#787)
2048
2049* Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
2050  long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
2051
2052* Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
2053  Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
2054
2055* Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
2056  third-party code should now be using
2057  `GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED}` to control symbol usage (!871)
2058
2059* Improve support for running `ninja test` when GLib is built statically (#1648)
2060
2061* Improve `GNetworkMonitor` detection of offline states (#1788)

2064  function (#1791)
2065

2069  of GLib included in a flatpak runtime) (#1822, !985)
2070
2071* More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)

2074
2075* Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
2076  higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
2077
2078* Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
2079
2080* Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
2081  of packaged libraries (!951)
2082
2083* Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support
2084  on Windows (!979)

2540Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.1
2541==================================
2542
2543* Autotools support is gone. (!580)
2544
2545* g_format_size() now uses a no-break space to separate digits and units;

2553
2554* Tag various tests as ‘flaky’. These are no longer run routinely on our
2555  upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
2556  not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
2557  machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)
2558
2559* Add overlay support to g_resources_get_info(). (#1445)
2560

2623
2624
2625Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
2626==================================
2627
2628* This will be the last development release with autotools support. 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:

2906Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
2907==================================
2908
2909* Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
2910  autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. 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

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). See !241.
2969
2970* Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
2971
2972* MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
2973  passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
2974  rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
2975  See #1476.
2976
2977* Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
2978
2979* Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
2980

3017 #1446 Follow-up from "Document difference between g_assert() and g_assert_*() wrt G_DISABLE_ASSERT"
3018 !206 grefstring: Avoid an unnecessary NUL assignment
3019 #1458 g_volume_get_mount returns NULL value after g_volume_mount_finish is called with no error

4153Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
4154==================================
4155
4156 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
4157   not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
4158   it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
4159   another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
4160
4161 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
4162   are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
4163   uses prctl() but the pthread api.
4164
4165 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
4166   environment variable.
4167
4168 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
4169   it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

4392Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
4393==================================
4394
4395The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
4396symbols from libglib-2.0.so.  It is unlikely that this will have caused
4397any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
4398definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
4399
4400This release corrects only this problem.
4401
4402Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
4403==================================
4404
4405* We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
4406  interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
4407  this considerably.  Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
4408
4409* New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

4411* other fixes

4498Overview of changes in GLib 2.46.0
4499==================================
4500
4501* GTask no longer imposes a fixed limit on the number of tasks that
4502  can be run_in_thread() simultaneously, since doing this inevitably
4503  results in deadlocks in some use cases. 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

4770Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
4771==================================
4772
4773* The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
4774  to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
4775  elements. 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

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.  This will probably be enabled by
4865   default in the next cycle.
4866
4867 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
4868
4869 * new GTask:completed property
4870
4871 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
4872   the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()
4873
4874Bugs fixed:
4875 614684 Make various parts of GObject const-correct

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.

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

5732Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
5733====================================================
5734
5735 * GSettings fixes/improvements
5736
5737   - 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

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

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

6314Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
6315==============================================
6316
6317* Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
6318  application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
6319  desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
6320  the  application with g_action_map_add_action().
6321
6322* GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
6323  of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
6324  activated.
6325
6326* GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
6327
6328* The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
6329  the key was locked down)
6330

6454Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
6455==============================================
6456
6457 * add support for installed tests:
6458   https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
6459
6460 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
6461   replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
6462
6463 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
6464
6465 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
6466
6467 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
6468   favour of 'this style'.  This may cause testcases in other packages
6469   to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
6470
6471 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

6502Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
6503==============================================
6504
6505* The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
6506  and a parser API for them is now provided
6507
6508* GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
6509  clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
6510  instance because a long-running operation is pending.
6511
6512* GLib can now be built with the bionic C library
6513

6570Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
6571==============================================
6572
6573* It is no longer necessary to call g_type_init().  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

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 change only affects Windows.
6631
6632* Bugs fixed:
6633 682896 glib doesn't build on mingw32

6684Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
6685==============================================
6686
6687This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
6688modules are now never unloaded.  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

6871Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
6872==============================================
6873
6874* This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6875 function. 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

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

7602Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.22 to 2.32.0
7603===============================================
7604
7605* It is no longer necessary to use g_thread_init() or to link against
7606  libgthread.  libglib is now always thread-enabled. 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

7909
7910* GObject:
7911 - The type checks for overriding 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* GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status
7921
7922* GSettings: a native OS X backend has been added, under the
7923  name 'nexstep'
7924
7925* Bugs fixed

7962Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
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:

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

8322Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
8323================================================
8324
8325* GObject includes a generic marshaller, g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
8326  To use it, simply specify NULL as the marshaller in g_signal_new().
8327  The generic marshaller is implemented with libffi, and consequently
8328  GObject depends on libffi now.
8329
8330* API/ABI changes:
8331 - unix signal watches now match the API of all of the other sources
8332 - revert the addition of g_date_time_source_new () from last release
8333
8334* networking and other fixes for Solaris
8335 - we no longer support symbolic port names (ie: from /etc/services)
8336 - check if -lsocket is needed
8337 - fix g_socket_details_from_fd()
8338 - avoid getmntinfo
8339 - fix some harmless warnings
8340
8341* GDateTime improvements:
8342 - generally improved standards compliance (with C99)
8343 - support C99-specified format strings: %g, %G, %V, %c, %C, %w
8344 - consult the locale for the preferred 12-hour time format (%r)
8345 - drop support for non-standard %N and broken %W
8346 - better support for formatting non-POSIX (eg: Arabic) numerals
8347 - locale-related test case fixups, and fix some leaks
8348
8349* GTlsInteraction: add interaction method invocation guarantees
8350
8351* gdbus-codegen: post-process all interfaces when parsing >1 file
8352
8353* make GMainLoop, GMainContext and GSource boxed types
8354
8355* fix a race condition in the first use of g_get_monotonic_time()
8356
8357* lots gtk-doc cleanups
8358
8359* better intltool compatibility when generating pot file
8360
8361* avoid GCC-specific compiler options when not using GCC
8362
8363* Translation updates:
8364 Belarusian

8641Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
8642==============================================
8643
8644* Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
8645  of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
8646  to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
8647  that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
8648  side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
8649  has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
8650
8651* A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
8652  including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
8653
8654* Access to quarks is now lockless
8655
8656* GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
8657

8718Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
8719==============================================
8720
8721* GDBus:
8722 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
8723   objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
8724   an 'object manager' pattern:
8725   GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
8726   These interfaces have client-side implementations:
8727   GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
8728   And server-side implementations:
8729   GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
8730 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
8731   to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
8732   descriptions in XML
8733
8734* GTest:
8735 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
8736   tests as failed
8737
8738* GDesktopAppInfo
8739 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
8740 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
8741   g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
8742   g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
8743
8744* GHashTable:
8745 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
8746   large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
8747   to store sets.
8748
8749* Unix-specific APIs:
8750  GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
8751  meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
8752  g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
8753  with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
8754  sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
8755  signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
8756
8757* Bugs fixed:
8758 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing
8759 632631 GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_new_string: assertion `g_utf8_validate (string, -1, NULL)' failed

9066   that starts with a dot
9067 - GAppInfo gained API to differentiate between recommended
9068   and fallback mime handlers
9069 - g_cancellable_create_source: creates a GSource that triggers
9070   when the GCancellable is canceled
9071 - GPollableInput/OutputStream: Interfaces for pollable streams

9101Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
9102==============================================
9103
9104* The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
9105  dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
9106  64-bit integer.
9107  Affected functions:
9108  g_source_get_time
9109  g_periodic_unblock
9110  g_get_monotonic_time
9111  g_get_real_time
9112  The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
9113  discouraged.
9114
9115* GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
9116
9117* There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
9118  in async GIO APIs:
9119  g_simple_async_result_take_error
9120  g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
9121  g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
9122
9123* There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
9124  g_variant_lookup
9125
9126* It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
9127  D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
9128  G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
9129
9130* Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
9131  g_get_user_runtime_dir
9132
9133* Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed
9134
9135* Bugs fixed:
9136 620263 Add g_clear_object, g_clear_pointer, g_clear_boxed
9137 633075 update Project Files and sources for MSVC 2008/C89

9150Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
9151==============================================
9152
9153* GApplication
9154 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
9155 - Support environment passing
9156
9157* GSettings
9158 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
9159 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
9160
9161* GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
9162  timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
9163  which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
9164  been deprecated
9165
9166* Bugs fixed:
9167 158725 free linked list with data
9168 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

9186Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
9187==============================================
9188
9189* GDateTime now has full week number support.
9190  New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
9191
9192* The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
9193  broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
9194
9195* GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
9196
9197* GSettings has more complete support for ranges
9198  New API:
9199    g_settings_get_range
9200    g_settings_range_check
9201  The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
9202
9203* GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
9204  and examples. 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. Note that this
9222  API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
9223  will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
9224

9312  - very many memory leaks fixed
9313
9314GVariant:
9315  - check for size == 0 in g_variant_get_bytestring to avoid a crash
9316    when attempting to get_bytestring() from an empty array
9317  - improve gobject-introspection annotations
9318
9319GSettings:

9478=====================================================
9479
9480+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9481|   WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI.  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

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

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:

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

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).  Values of keys in the base schema can be
9676    overridden using <override>.
9677  - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
9678  - lots of new tests
9679  - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
9680  - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
9681      gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
9682      gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
9683    will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
9684    enums and flags in the specified .h files.
9685  - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
9686    (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
9687  - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
9688  - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
9689    being set due to a premature free
9690  - command line tool: bash completion support
9691  - chain up in _finalize
9692  - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
9693    post-processing
9694  - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
9695    GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
9696  - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
9697    warn)
9698  - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
9699  - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
9700    that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
9701  - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
9702  - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
9703    the keyfile
9704
9705Other:
9706  - always intern GBinding prop names
9707  - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
9708  - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
9709  - GNode docs improvements
9710  - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
9711  - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
9712  - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
9713    SystemTap)
9714
9715Tests:
9716  - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
9717  - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
9718  - improved tests for GKeyfile
9719  - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
9720    CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
9721  - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
9722  - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
9723  - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
9724
9725 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
9726 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
9727 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9728 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
9729 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
9730 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
9731 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
9732 610784 array test failing
9733 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
9734 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
9735 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
9736 622124 implement flags
9737 622127 GSettings extended key validation
9738 622128 retry with default value for failed mapping

9840===================================================
9841
9842+----------------------------------------------------------------+
9843| WARNING: There have been API changes in GDBus, GSettings and   |
9844| GApplication. Users of these APIs will need to be adapted. In  |
9845| particular, a new release of GTK+ is required to go along with |
9846| this one.                                                      |
9847+----------------------------------------------------------------+
9848
9849* GDBus
9850 - Use Gio's default async implementation
9851 - Fix proxy construction for objects with no properties
9852 - Fix error handling in synchronous initialization
9853 - Do not dispatch calls to unregistered objects
9854 - Add _with_closures alternative functions
9855 - Allow constructing GDBusProxy with well-known names
9856 - Remove GType parameters from GDBusProxy constructors
9857 - Nuke g_bus_watch_proxy API
9858 - Add --xml to gdbus-tool to print raw introspected XML
9859
9860* GSettings
9861 - schema file format change: store (default, options) in gvdb
9862 - Add g_settings_sync()
9863 - Add support for enums and ranges
9864 - 'context' support has been replaced by direct use of
9865   GSettingsBackend

9874 - The GVariant gtype G_TYPE_VARIANT was changed from boxed
9875   to fundamental. We believe there were no existing users
9876   of the boxed type, so this should not cause any applications
9877   to break.

9879* Test framework
9880 - Add package and version to the test report XML
9881 - Use optparse to parse gtester-report commandline

9900 620990 Use Gio's default async implementation again
9901 620952 g_application_register_with_data is an ugly API
9902 621252 GSettings leaks context
9903 618715 fork() in GSettings test cases is problematic 618715

10048  to replace dbus-glib
10049
10050* GVariant no requires strings to be UTF-8. You can use byte
10051  arrays for non-UTF-8 strings.

10134
10135* The GSettings framework has been merged. 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.

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

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.  We hope to reimplement this feature in a better form in a
10241   future release.

10280 API still to follow.
10281
10282* GIO:
10283 - There is a new interface GFileDescriptorBased for file descriptor
10284   based IO. GLocalFile{Input,Output}Stream implement it

10340
10341* We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
10342
10343* g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
10344
10345* GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
10346  gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
10347  Packagers will need to adapt to this.
10348
10349* Threading changes:
10350 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
10351   it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
10352   call.
10353 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
10354   when g_type_init() is called.
10355 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
10356
10357* GObject:
10358 - Another bunch of performance work has landed
10359
10360* GVariant:
10361 - GVariantType has been merged, with the rest of the GVariant
10362   API to follow.

10397
10398* GObject performance work has landed:
10399 - Construction of simple objects is much faster
10400 - Interface lookup is lock-free and constant-time now
10401 - Reduced locking overhead when dealing with types
10402
10403* GType now has a G_DEFINE_INTERFACE convenience macro
10404
10405* GIO gained GUtf8InputStream, an input stream that
10406  performs utf-8 validation
10407

10432Overview of Changes from GLib 2.22.x to GLib 2.23.0
10433===================================================
10434
10435* GIO:
10436 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
10437   suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
10438   replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
10439   GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
10440   GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
10441   while loading or saving it.
10442 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
10443   the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
10444 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
10445
10446* GObject:
10447 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
10448   interfaces to dynamic types.
10449
10450* GModule:
10451 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
10452   it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
10453   against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading
10454   support.
10455
10456* Bugs fixed:
10457 601637 GUnixFDMessage should contain a GUnixFDList

10806Overview of Changes from GLib 2.20.x to GLib 2.21.0
10807===================================================
10808
10809* GIO:
10810 - 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:

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. CVE-2008-4316
10908
10909* Bugs fixed:
10910 574019 GChecksum: document and guarantee hex characters in lower case

11187Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
11188===================================================
11189
11190* Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
11191  of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
11192  significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
11193  no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
11194  also uses less memory overall.
11195
11196* Make g_poll available as public api
11197
11198* New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
11199  that a GError is set or unset
11200
11201* g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
11202
11203* g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
11204  New functions to clean up app infos and content types
11205
11206* When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
11207  and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
11208
11209* Bugs fixed:

11283Overview of Changes from GLib 2.17.7 to GLib 2.18.0
11284===================================================
11285
11286* The recommended way of using GLib has always been to only include the
11287  toplevel headers glib.h, glib-object.h and gio.h. GLib enforces this by
11288  generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
11289  To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
11290  default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
11291  To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.
11292
11293* Win32:
11294  - rework the g_poll() implementation to match poll() semantics more closely
11295

12008 - Functions that take a GError now return a boolean to indicate
12009   success, instead of void
12010 - Various performance improvements
12011
12012* GAsyncQueue:
12013 - g_async_queue_new_full: new function that allows to specify
12014   a free function for leftover elements

12612Overview of Changes from GLib 2.10.0 to GLib 2.10.1
12613===================================================
12614
12615* Bugs fixed:
12616 314794 Broken pthread detection on Darwin [Gregor Riepl]
12617 322476 Missing check for .dylib [Vladimir Panov]
12618 333651 Inconsistent _g_charset_get_aliases prototype [Julio
12619        M. Merino Vidal]
12620 333761 GInitiallyUnowned breaks application code [Sven Herzberg]
12621
12622* Win32 changes:
12623 - Fix g_listenv() implementation.
12624 - Allow up to 100 GPrivate structs
12625
12626* Translation updates (fr,hu,lt,pl,sv)
12627
12628
12629Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.6 to GLib 2.10.0
12630==================================================
12631
12632* The functions g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf() have been removed from
12633  the gprintf.h header, since they are already declared in glib.h. 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

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. Zeroing of freed memory can
12699  now be turned on at runtime by setting
12700  G_DEBUG=gc-friendly in the environment. [Tim Janik]
12701
12702* Bugs fixed:
12703 328253 HP-UX/IA-64 uses ".so" as default shared library
12704        extension [Albert Chin]
12705 143380 unicode-encoding test fails converting to UTF-16
12706        with libiconv [Marc Moorcroft]
12707 328254 Build breakage (GSlice) [Jens Ganseuer]
12708 328705 C99ism in glib/gmem.c [Kazuki Iwamoto]
12709
12710* Translation updates (da,et,zh_CN)
12711
12712Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.3 to GLib 2.9.4
12713=================================================
12714
12715* Type system:
12716  Fix a problem with g_object_compat_control() which
12717  can lead to segfaults in GTK+ applications on 64bit
12718  platforms.
12719
12720* Thread suppport:
12721  Unused threads now fall back to the global pool after
12722  500 milliseconds, where they wait for another
12723  max-idle-time milliseconds. [Sebastian Wilhelmi]
12724
12725* Fix a memory allocation problem in GKeyFile. [Morten
12726  Welinder]
12727
12728
12729Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.2 to GLib 2.9.3
12730=================================================
12731
12732* GTree:
12733 - Replace the simple recursive implementation by
12734   a nonrecursive, threaded one  [Maurizio Monge]
12735
12736* Change g_filename_display_name and
12737  g_filename_display_basename to use the Unicode
12738  replacement character U+FFFD instead of a question
12739  mark, and don't append "(invalid encoding)"  [Matthias]
12740
12741* Documentation improvements [Sven Herzberg, Federico
12742  Mena Quintero, Stefan Kost]
12743
12744* Bugs fixed:
12745 323937 gslice.c in glib 2.9.1 doesn't build on Mac OS X

12756
12757
12758Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.1 to GLib 2.9.2
12759=================================================
12760
12761* Memory management:
12762 - Add tests for cache colorization [Tim Janik]
12763 - Minimize space consumption if small amounts of differently
12764   sized slices are allocated, at a small performance cost.  [Tim]
12765
12766* Thread support:
12767 - Add g_atomic_pointer_set() and g_atomic_int_set() [Tim Janik,
12768   Sebastian Wilhelmi]
12769 - Add g_thread_pool_set_sort_function() to allow sorting the
12770   tasks of a threadpool.  [Martyn Russell]
12771 - Add g_thread_pool_set_idle_time() to allow unused threads
12772   to exit after a certain time.  [Martyn]
12773
12774* Type system:
12775 - introduce a new type GInitiallyUnowned, which has an initial
12776   floating reference. [Tim]
12777 - Add support for GType parameters. [Matthias]
12778
12779* Main loop:
12780 - Add g_main_context_is_owner() to determine if the current
12781   thread is the owner of the context.  [Michael Meeks]
12782
12783* Provide g_access(), g_chdir(), g_unlink(), g_rmdir() as
12784  wrapper functions instead of macros.  [Manish Singh]
12785
12786* Documentation improvements [Tim, Matthias, Federico Mena Quintero,
12787  Stefan Kasal, Dan Williams]
12788

12811
12812Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.0 to GLib 2.9.1
12813=================================================
12814
12815* Memory management
12816 - The slice allocator is implemented [Tim Janik]
12817 - g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to
12818   g_slice_free_chain_with_offset()  [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
12819 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
12820
12821* Data structures
12822 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
12823
12824* Thread support
12825 - Support for Solaris threads has been removed
12826   [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
12827 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
12828   been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
12829   queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
12830   variants  [Martyn Russell]
12831
12832* GObject:
12833 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
12834   moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
12835
12836* Win32 changes:
12837 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
12838
12839* Misc new API:
12840 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
12841   constants [Andrew Paprocki]
12842 - G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT macro to instruct the
12843   compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
12844   by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]
12845 - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an
12846   extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]
12847 - g_param_spec_ref_sink() has been added for consistency [Tim]
12848
12849* $LOGNAME is respected when determining user data. [Laszlo Peter]
12850
12851* Other changes and bug fixes [Tim, Matthias, Behdad,
12852  Christian Persch, Benedikt Meurer, Andrew Paprocki,
12853  Kazuki Iwamoto, Alexis S. L. Carvalho, Stanislav Brabec,
12854  Andreas Schwab, Kalle Vahlman]
12855
12856* Documentation
12857 - Deprecation warnings carry version information [Matthias]
12858 - The slice allocator has been documented [Matthias, Tim]
12859 - Other improvements [Morten Welinder]
12860
12861Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
12862=================================================
12863* Unicode support:
12864 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
12865   adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
12866   enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
12867   [Behdad Esfahbod]
12868 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
12869   (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
12870   been optimized
12871   [Behdad]
12872 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
12873   These functions handle negative offsets now, and
12874   going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
12875   "stutter stepping".
12876   [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
12877
12878* Memory management:
12879 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
12880   GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
12881 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
12882   and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
12883   data structures) have been deprecated, since they
12884   never worked as intended.
12885 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
12886   new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
12887   The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
12888   wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
12889   efficient and scalable implementation.
12890   [Tim Janik, Matthias]
12891
12892* Pattern matching:
12893 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
12894   unnecessary recursion.
12895   [Tim, Matthias]
12896
12897* g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
12898 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
12899   by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
12900   [Matthias]
12901
12902* g_thread_foreach:
12903 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
12904   [Tim, Matthias]
12905
12906* g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
12907 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
12908   GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
12909   in favor of these.
12910   [Roger Leigh]
12911
12912* g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
12913 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
12914   since they are in glib.h
12915   [Matthias]

12928=================================================
12929* Make g_value_transform() handle enum values
12930  correctly on ppc64.  [Michael Lorenz]
12931  (Third-party code accessing enumeration values
12932  in GValues should also be changed to access
12933  v_long, not v_int, in order to work on bigendian
12934  64bit machines.)
12935* Make g_flags_get_first_value() handle a value
12936  of 0 meaningfully. [Tim-Philipp Müller]

12961* Fix handling of stateful encodings in g_convert_* [Matthias]
12962* Fix translation of GOption help output [Dan Winship]
12963* Catch format errors in translations. This may cause
12964  "make check" to fail when using older versions
12965  of gettext [Matthias]
12966* Win32 bug fixes [Tor Lillqvist]
12967* Documentation improvements [Ross Burton, Jochen Baier,

13092
13093Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
13094=================================================
13095
13096* GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of 'GLib filename encoding', which is the
13097  on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. 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. Functions that return file names return UTF-8.
13184  - Use higher precision for mathematical constants
13185  - Don't convert to/from UTF-8 in g_filename_to_uri/g_filename_from_uri
13186  - Support ll as printf format modifier for long long on all platforms
13187  - Clean up the ABI and enforce the list of exported symbols
13188  - Add a .pc file for using gmodule in libraries
