263* Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
264  higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
265
266* Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
267
268* Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use

504Overview of changes in GLib 2.61.0
505==================================

728Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.1
729==================================
730
731* Autotools support is gone. (!580)
732
733* g_format_size() now uses a no-break space to separate digits and units;
734  translations will need to be updated accordingly. (#1625)
735
736* New g_queue_clear_full() API. (#1464)

738* Fix argument quoting on win32 when spawning subprocesses. (!419)
739
740* Allow polling more than 64 handles on win32 using g_poll(). (#1071)
741
742* Tag various tests as ‘flaky’. These are no longer run routinely on our
743  upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
744  not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
745  machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)
746
747* Add overlay support to g_resources_get_info(). (#1445)

749* Support defaults and locks in the keyfile GSettings backend. This will be
750  used for flatpaks. (!450)

813Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
814==================================
815
816* This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
817  Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
818  in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
819  to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
820
821* Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
822  directory for each unit test. (#538)
823
824* Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
825
826* Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
827
828* Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
829
830* Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
831  `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
832  misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
833  still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
834
835* Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
836  large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
837
838* Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
839  and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
840  ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
841
842* Various fixes to the Meson build.
843
844* Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
845  https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
846  (!196)
847
848* `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
849  https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
850
851* Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
852  running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
853  upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
854
855* Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
856  portal backends. (!317)
857
858* Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
859  debugging. (!384)
860
861* Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
862
863* Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
864  fixes. (!411)
865
866* Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
867
868* Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
869  TLS 1.3. (!478)
870
871* Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
872  for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
873  systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
874
875* Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
876  is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
877
878* Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
879  and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
880  setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
881  is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
882
883* Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
884
885* Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)
886

1094Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
1095==================================
1096
1097* Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
1098  autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
1099  release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
1100  with Meson or autotools. See:
1101  https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
1102
1103* Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
1104
1105* Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
1106  MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
1107
1108* Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
1109
1110* Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
1111
1112* Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
1113  rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
1114  API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
1115  ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
1116
1117Bugs fixed:
1118 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
1119 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
1120 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
1121 !265 Network monitor again
1122 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
1123 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
1124 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
1125 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
1126 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
1127 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
1128
1129* Translation updates:

1131 Galician
1132 Indonesian
1133 Italian
1134 Kazakh
1135 Korean
1136 Turkish

1138
1139Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
1140==================================
1141
1142* G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
1143  definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
1144  appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
1145  of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
1146
1147* Many minor documentation fixes.
1148
1149* Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
1150
1151* Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
1152
1153* Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
1154
1155* Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
1156  its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
1157
1158* Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
1159
1160* MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
1161  passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
1162  rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
1163  See #1476.
1164
1165* Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
1166
1167* Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
1168
1169Bugs fixed:
1170 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test

1187 !241 glib-mkenums: forbid @filename@/@basename@ in fhead and ftail
1188 !240 gtimer: Ensure arithmetic is correctly signed for ISO 8601 parsing
1189 #1452 GFileInfo: unable to retrieve correct modification time of links and mounted volumes on Windows
1190 !234 DOC: Documentation fix in GTask description
1191 #1363 Meson: Review cross compilation properties

1205 #1446 Follow-up from "Document difference between g_assert() and g_assert_*() wrt G_DISABLE_ASSERT"
1206 !206 grefstring: Avoid an unnecessary NUL assignment
1207 #1458 g_volume_get_mount returns NULL value after g_volume_mount_finish is called with no error
1208 !72 gio: icons should fallback to non-preferred style appropriately.

2341Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
2342==================================
2343
2344 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
2345   not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
2346   it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
2347   another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
2348
2349 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
2350   are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
2351   uses prctl() but the pthread api.
2352
2353 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
2354   environment variable.
2355
2356 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
2357   it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

2576Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
2577==================================
2578
2579The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
2580symbols from libglib-2.0.so.  It is unlikely that this will have caused
2581any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
2582definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
2583
2584This release corrects only this problem.
2585
2586Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
2587==================================
2588
2589* We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
2590  interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
2591  this considerably.  Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
2592
2593* New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.
2594
2595* other fixes

2939Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
2940==================================
2941
2942* The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
2943  to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
2944  elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
2945  into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
2946  way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
2947  file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
2948
2949* The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
2950  have seen major improvements.
2951
2952  The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
2953  be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
2954  significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
2955  files appear.
2956
2957  The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
2958
2959  The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
2960
2961  The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
2962
2963* The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
2964  about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
2965  Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
2966  in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
2967  already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
2968  you use the --strict option.
2969
2970* The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
2971  since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
2972  to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
2973
2974* GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
2975
2976* The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
2977  has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
2978  default handlers for a generic supertype.
2979
2980* Bug fixes:
2981 627285 inotify file monitor hardwired delay

3023Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
3024===================================
3025
3026GLib is now considered frozen.  We do not expect any major changes
3027before the release of 2.44.0.
3028
3029 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
3030
3031 * many documentation improvements and cleanups.  We are now
3032   approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
3033   xml will build without warnings.  This will probably be enabled by
3034   default in the next cycle.
3035
3036 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
3037
3038 * new GTask:completed property
3039
3040 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
3041   the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()
3042
3043Bugs fixed:
3044 614684 Make various parts of GObject const-correct
3045 730352 Use inet_pton(), if_nametoindex() and if_indextoname() for newer versions of Windows

3081===================================
3082
3083We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
3084that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
3085scope (working only on GCC and clang).
3086
3087GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
3088effective busy state.

3512Overview of changes in GLib 2.41.0
3513===================================
3514
3515* Many bugfixes found by static analysis, including potential fd leaks
3516  and NULL pointer dereferences.
3517
3518* Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
3519  now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).
3520
3521* use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn handling of desktop
3522  files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env()
3523
3524* add support for g_desktop_app_info_get_implementations() to find
3525  desktop files that have an Implements= line for a given interface
3526
3527* GHmac has gained SHA-512 support
3528
3529* support the new mimeapps specification (most notably, moving the
3530  assoications/defaults configuration to ~/.config/mimeapps.list).
3531
3532* libgobject is now linked -Wl,-z,nodelete when possible to avoid errors
3533  when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself
3534  use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded
3535
3536* ... and many other bug fixes.

3623Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
3624=====================================================
3625
3626This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
3627clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC.  It also introduces a dependency on
3628pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
3629pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android).  This
3630release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
3631of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
3632
3633New API: g_str_to_ascii()
3634
3635* Fixed bugs:
3636 670144 unconditional use of CLOCK_MONOTONIC is broken
3637 673607 invalid assumption in g_cond_wait_until() / g_get_monotonic_time() API

3886Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
3887====================================================
3888
3889 * GSettings fixes/improvements
3890
3891   - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
3892
3893   - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
3894     type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
3895     and description
3896
3897   - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
3898     source.  Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
3899     source.
3900
3901   - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
3902
3903   - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
3904
3905   - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
3906     by the sysadmin)
3907
3908   - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
3909     particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
3910
3911   - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
3912
3913 * Applications/Actions
3914
3915   - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
3916     that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
3917     after construction)
3918
3919   - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
3920     via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
3921
3922   - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
3923     Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
3924     instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
3925     not itself at fault for the errant call)
3926
3927 * Appinfo
3928
3929   - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
3930     accesses that are performed in common situations
3931
3932   - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
3933     are installed/removed
3934
3935   - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
3936     installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
3937
3938 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
3939   "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
3940   as 'my:tag')
3941
3942 * GDBus
3943
3944   - ignore qualified tags, as above
3945
3946   - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
3947     that test programs don't pick them up
3948
3949   - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
3950
3951 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
3952   timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
3953   '/dev/urandom'.  This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
3954   due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
3955
3956 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes.  Many
3957   additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
3958
3959 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
3960   large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
3961   the testcases, but some in glib itself).
3962
3963 * GIO:
3964
3965   - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
3966
3967   - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
3968
3969   - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

4021Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
4022====================================================
4023
4024 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
4025
4026 * GNotification
4027
4028   - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
4029
4030   - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
4031     them can restart the application with an action (via
4032     DBusActivatable)
4033
4034 * GSubprocess
4035
4036   - new API for launching subprocesses
4037
4038   - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
4039
4040   - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
4041
4042   - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
4043     pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
4044
4045 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
4046
4047   - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
4048
4049   - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
4050     actions and listing apps and actions
4051
4052   - bash tab completion is supported
4053
4054 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
4055
4056   - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
4057     it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
4058
4059   - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
4060     DBusActivatable=true
4061
4062   - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
4063     do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
4064     desktop file index)
4065
4066 * File monitors
4067
4068   - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
4069
4070   - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
4071     class and inotify backend
4072
4073   - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
4074     the main context is not running (or is blocked)
4075
4076   - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
4077     GLib worker thread
4078
4079 * GSettings
4080
4081   - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas.  This fixes a
4082     longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
4083     when there are invalid schemas installed
4084
4085   - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
4086
4087 * GIO
4088
4089   - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
4090     thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
4091
4092   - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
4093     construction time
4094
4095   - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
4096     "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
4097     semantics of the interface in each case
4098
4099   - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
4100     expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
4101
4102   - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
4103
4104   - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
4105     have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
4106     stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
4107     dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
4108
4109 * GKeyFile
4110
4111   - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
4112     value as an integer
4113
4114   - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
4115
4116 * Portability improvements
4117
4118   - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
4119
4120   - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
4121     actually support it (like Hurd)
4122
4123   - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
4124
4125 * Other small API changes/additions
4126
4127   - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
4128     search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
4129     GtkSearchBar.  This will also be used by the desktop file index.
4130
4131   - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
4132
4133   - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
4134     G_LOG_ERROR messages
4135
4136 * GMainContext/GSource
4137
4138   - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
4139
4140   - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
4141     try to remove a non-existent source.  We expect that there is some
4142     code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
4143     considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
4144     broken and should probably be fixed.
4145
4146   - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
4147     require use of a linked list
4148
4149 * GObject
4150
4151   - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
4152     object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
4153     officially completely illegal and will abort the program
4154
4155 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
4156
4157 * Bug fixes
4158
4159   - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo.  This should
4160     clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
4161     gphoto, archive, at least).
4162
4163   - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
4164
4165   - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
4166     client
4167
4168   - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
4169     workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
4170     (which shared exactly the same bug)
4171
4172   - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
4173
4174   - many other small fixups (see bug list)
4175
4176  * Many documentation improvements
4177

4179 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing

4234What's new in Glib 2.38
4235========================
4236
4237 * Application support
4238
4239  - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
4240    desktop entry specification
4241
4242  - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
4243    interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
4244    standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
4245
4246  - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
4247    entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
4248    to launch other applications
4249
4250  - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
4251    to allow the shell to show that it is busy
4252
4253 * GObject
4254
4255  - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
4256    This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
4257    the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
4258    (ie: at a negative offset).  Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
4259    any problems that this may have caused.
4260
4261  - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
4262    generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
4263    equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
4264    (allowing memory savings)
4265
4266  - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
4267    provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
4268    private structures and their (now constant) offsets
4269
4270  - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
4271    class_init.  It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
4272    has returned.
4273
4274  - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
4275    without destroying one of the objects involved
4276
4277 * Icons
4278
4279  - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
4280    in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
4281    with a finite number of cases
4282
4283  - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
4284    in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
4285
4286  - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
4287    to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
4288    types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
4289    serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
4290    have GdkPixbuf
4291
4292  - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
4293
4294 * Actions and menus
4295
4296  - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
4297    property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
4298    "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
4299
4300  - new API g_menu_remove_all()
4301
4302  - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
4303    and an API to check them
4304
4305  - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
4306    split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
4307
4308  - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
4309    with most functions, but this is not recommended
4310
4311 * Other GIO
4312
4313  - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
4314    properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
4315    service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
4316    interface
4317
4318  - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
4319    recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
4320    particular directory (akin to 'du').
4321
4322  - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
4323    have been added
4324
4325 * Other new API
4326
4327  - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
4328    allow for regexp matching on streams
4329
4330  - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
4331    avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
4332    g_variant_new_printf()
4333
4334 * Testing
4335
4336  - we can now generate TAP output
4337
4338  - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
4339    data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
4340
4341  - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
4342    g_test_trap_fork()
4343
4344 * Other
4345
4346  - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library
4347

4468Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
4469==============================================
4470
4471* Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
4472  application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
4473  desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
4474  the  application with g_action_map_add_action().
4475
4476* GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
4477  of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
4478  activated.
4479
4480* GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
4481
4482* The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
4483  the key was locked down)
4484
4485* Miscellaneous new api:
4486 - g_variant_new_printf
4487 - g_action_print_detailed_name
4488 - g_regex_get_max_lookbehind

4618
4619 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
4620
4621 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

4623   to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
4624
4625 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

4658
4659* The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
4660  and a parser API for them is now provided
4661
4662* GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
4663  clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
4664  instance because a long-running operation is pending.

4759This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
4760source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
4761ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
4762reasons).  This change only affects Windows.

4817==============================================
4818
4819This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
4820modules are now never unloaded.  This is implemented by (effectively)
4821leaking the last reference on dynamic types.  Some testcases that check
4822for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
4823but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking.  Please report
4824any problems.
4825
4826Other changes:
4827 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
4828 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient

5003Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
5004==============================================
5005
5006* This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
5007 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
5008 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
5009 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
5010 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
5011
5012* We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
5013 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
5014 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
5015 particular, are incompatible.
5016
5017* Bugs fixed in this release:
5018 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants
5019 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files

5062Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
5063==============================================
5064
5065Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
5066made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
5067causing regressions in applications.
5068
5069A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
5070longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
5071instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()).  Bug #687659
5072is tracking this.
5073
5074Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
5075were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden.  This may
5076cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
5077
5078The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
5079
5080 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
5081
5082 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
5083
5084 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
5085
5086 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
5087
5088 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
5089
5090 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
5091
5092 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
5093
5094 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
5095
5096 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

5990==============================================
5991
5992* GObject:
5993 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
5994   In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
5995   to an overridden property
5996 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
5997   and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
5998
5999* GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
6000  g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
6001
6002* GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

6044Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
6045==============================================
6046
6047* GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus.  Those have been
6048  moved to GtkApplication.
6049
6050* the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
6051  GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
6052  handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup.  This allows Gtk to
6053  properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
6054
6055* lots of documentation improvements
6056
6057* bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
6058
6059* the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
6060  we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
6061
6062* g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
6063
6064* new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
6065
6066* desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
6067
6068* gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
6069  installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
6070
6071* Bugs fixed:
6072 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
6073 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
6074 664699 glib: documentation fixes
6075 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
6076 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
6077 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
6078 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
6079 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
6080 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
6081 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
6082 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
6083
6084* Translations updated:

6087
6088Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
6089==============================================
6090
6091* EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication.  Menus
6092  are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
6093  There have also been many related improvements to action group
6094  functionality.
6095
6096  These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases.  In
6097  particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
6098  menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
6099  types of menubars.
6100
6101* GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
6102  unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
6103  the object was exported on.  It now unconditionally dispatches these
6104  through an idle on the context.
6105
6106* Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
6107  longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
6108  fixes here and there.
6109
6110* Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
6111  byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
6112  API available outside GLib
6113
6114* GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple
6115  connections
6116
6117* Bugs fixed:

6148Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.0 to 2.31.2
6149==============================================
6150
6151* Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
6152
6153* glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
6154
6155* EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
6156  APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
6157  to introspect the contents of schemas.  This API may change.
6158
6159* Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
6160
6161* GDBus:
6162 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
6163 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
6164 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
6165
6166* Deprecations:
6167 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
6168 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
6169
6170* docs
6171 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
6172
6173* GIO:
6174 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
6175 - various GIO file and stream fixes
6176 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
6177
6178Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
6179=================================================
6180
6181This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth).  The
6182list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
6183
6184* Major changes to threading and synchronisation
6185 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
6186 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
6187   support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
6188 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
6189   been ripped out.  This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
6190   caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
6191   single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
6192 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
6193   required (and has been deprecated)
6194 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
6195   initialisation.  Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
6196 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
6197   without explicit initialisation.
6198 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
6199   Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
6200 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
6201   deprecated.
6202 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
6203   monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
6204 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
6205   implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
6206 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
6207   (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
6208 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
6209   have been fixed
6210 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated.  The
6211   concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
6212   have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
6213   and ability to manipulate the stack size.
6214 - GThread is now a refcounted type
6215 - other implementation details changed
6216
6217* Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
6218  deprecated/ directory.
6219
6220* New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
6221  warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
6222  implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
6223
6224* GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
6225  platform over a year ago).
6226
6227* It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
6228  "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
6229
6230* The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
6231  missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
6232
6233* Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext.  This is
6234  because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
6235  by both processes.  We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
6236  (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
6237
6238* GApplication
6239  - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
6240  - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
6241    quit logic)
6242
6243* Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
6244
6245* Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
6246  platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
6247
6248* some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
6249  in a multi-threaded program
6250
6251* Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
6252  time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
6253
6254* pkg-config files:
6255  - drop -uninstalled variants
6256  - remove gobject dependency on gthread
6257
6258* New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
6259  implemented without use of a mutex.  Cleaned up atomic-related
6260  compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
6261
6262* SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
6263
6264* Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
6265  introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
6266
6267* GDBus:
6268  - many code generation updates and improvements
6269  - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
6270
6271* GVariant:
6272  - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
6273  - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
6274
6275* GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
6276
6277* mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
6278  instead of mtab
6279
6280* new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
6281  GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
6282
6283* use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
6284  in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
6285
6286* GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
6287
6288* error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
6289
6290* many docs updates
6291
6292* Partial list of bugs closed:
6293 70598  Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.
6294 320888 optimization for g_main_context_wakeup

6718Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
6719==============================================
6720
6721* Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
6722  of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
6723  to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
6724  that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
6725  side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
6726  has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
6727
6728* A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
6729  including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
6730
6731* Access to quarks is now lockless
6732
6733* GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

6795Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
6796==============================================
6797
6798* GDBus:
6799 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
6800   objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
6801   an 'object manager' pattern:
6802   GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
6803   These interfaces have client-side implementations:
6804   GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
6805   And server-side implementations:
6806   GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
6807 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
6808   to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
6809   descriptions in XML
6810
6811* GTest:
6812 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
6813   tests as failed
6814

6816 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
6817 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
6818   g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
6819   g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
6820
6821* GHashTable:
6822 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
6823   large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
6824   to store sets.
6825
6826* Unix-specific APIs:
6827  GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
6828  meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
6829  g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
6830  with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
6831  sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
6832  signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
6833
6834* Bugs fixed:
6835 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing

6863Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
6864==============================================
6865
6866* GApplication
6867 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
6868 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
6869 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
6870
6871* GDBus
6872 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
6873 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
6874   situations has been improved
6875
6876* GVariant
6877 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
6878 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
6879
6880* GDateTime:
6881 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
6882   match strcmp() semantics
6883 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
6884   has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
6885   called to update the cached information about the local timezone
6886
6887* GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
6888  and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
6889
6890* GSettings:
6891 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
6892
6893* Commandline utilities are now fully translated
6894
6895* Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
6896  always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
6897  using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

7174Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
7175==============================================
7176
7177* The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
7178  dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
7179  64-bit integer.
7180  Affected functions:
7181  g_source_get_time
7182  g_periodic_unblock
7183  g_get_monotonic_time
7184  g_get_real_time
7185  The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
7186  discouraged.
7187
7188* GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
7189
7190* There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
7191  in async GIO APIs:
7192  g_simple_async_result_take_error
7193  g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
7194  g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
7195
7196* There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
7197  g_variant_lookup
7198
7199* It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
7200  D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
7201  G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
7202
7203* Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
7204  g_get_user_runtime_dir
7205
7206* Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed
7207
7208* Bugs fixed:
7209 620263 Add g_clear_object, g_clear_pointer, g_clear_boxed
7210 633075 update Project Files and sources for MSVC 2008/C89

7223Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
7224==============================================
7225
7226* GApplication
7227 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
7228 - Support environment passing
7229
7230* GSettings
7231 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
7232 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
7233
7234* GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
7235  timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
7236  which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
7237  been deprecated
7238
7239* Bugs fixed:
7240 158725 free linked list with data
7241 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
7242 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError

7259Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
7260==============================================
7261
7262* GDateTime now has full week number support.
7263  New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
7264
7265* The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
7266  broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
7267
7268* GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
7269
7270* GSettings has more complete support for ranges
7271  New API:
7272    g_settings_get_range
7273    g_settings_range_check
7274  The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
7275
7276* GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
7277  and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
7278
7279* The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
7280  which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
7281  New API:
7282    g_main_context_invoke
7283    g_main_context_invoke_full
7284
7285* The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
7286  removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
7287  looking for default applications.
7288
7289* On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
7290  folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
7291  and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
7292  this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
7293
7294* A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
7295  API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
7296  will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
7297
7298Bug fixes:

7551=====================================================
7552
7553+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7554|   WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI.  Weird, eh?   |
7555+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7556
7557The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
7558glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
7559being distributed in the tarball.  It was being used to build some parts
7560of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones).  This was causing some very
7561serious problems.
7562
7563There have been many other improvements, however:
7564
7565 Build and testing:
7566  - vastly improved test coverage
7567  - old tests moved to the gtester framework
7568  - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
7569  - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
7570
7571 GVariant:
7572  - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
7573
7574 GDBus:
7575  - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
7576  - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
7577  - improve debug output, add some extra options
7578  - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
7579    explaining why
7580  - sort property names correctly
7581  - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
7582    anyway
7583  - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
7584
7585 GSettings:
7586  - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
7587    without mapping functions
7588  - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
7589
7590 Binding:
7591  - improve closure support for bindings
7592  - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
7593
7594 Other:
7595  - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility
7596
7597Bugs closed:
7598 599590 glib build doesn't look for correct pkg-config
7599 619026 avoid warning in gutils.h when using gcc with -Wconversion
7600 624739 Please fix POTFILES.in
7601 625472 Valgrind claims uninitialized bytes used

7603 625628 GDBusProxy: wrong property name sorting
7604 625753 Incorrect flags used in g_dbus_connection_call_sync()
7605 625827 Expand documentation about error quark naming
7606 625988 builddir != srcdir issues
7607 626107 glibconfig.h is being disted

7618=====================================================
7619
7620+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7621| WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending     |
7622| messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and         |
7623| registering subtrees are affected.  The ABI for GSettingsBackend  |
7624| has also been changed.  For both reasons, a new dconf release is  |
7625| required (and will be along soon).                                |
7626+-------------------------------------------------------------------+

7637    in a schema)
7638  - change GSettingsBackend vtable
7639  - add g_settings_reset()
7640  - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
7641

7644  - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
7645  - proper support for file descriptor passing
7646  - new flags parameter for sending messages
7647  - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
7648  - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
7649    G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
7650  - constness fixes for introspection structures
7651  - clean ups to subtree registration API
7652
7653Other:
7654  - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions
7655  - GIO: don't blindly assume that SOCK_CLOEXEC is supported
7656  - make GObject property notify freezes threadsafe
7657  - GIO: clean up credentials passing
7658  - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE

7686Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
7687=====================================================
7688
7689+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7690| WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
7691| These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
7692| a new version of GTK+ to be installed.                            |
7693+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7694
7695Build:
7696  - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
7697    -Bsymbolic-functions
7698  - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
7699  - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
7700  - use proper feature test macros for isnan
7701  - use pkg-config to check for zlib
7702  - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7703
7704GDBus:
7705  - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
7706    GDBusProxy.  This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
7707    nobody was doing that.
7708  - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
7709    outgoing messages
7710  - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
7711    GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
7712    themselves
7713  - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
7714    have a serial number
7715  - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
7716    variable
7717  - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
7718    flags
7719  - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
7720    GDBusConnection.  Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
7721    has finished running on GDBus services.
7722  - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
7723    this due to the obvious race)
7724  - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
7725  - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
7726
7727GVariant:
7728  - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
7729  - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
7730    arguments and different behaviour
7731  - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
7732    essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
7733    strings instead of utf8 strings
7734  - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
7735    STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
7736  - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
7737    arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
7738  - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
7739    arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
7740  - improved gobject-introspection annotation
7741  - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
7742  - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
7743
7744GSettings:
7745  - improved documentation
7746  - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
7747  - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
7748    'extends=' attribute).  Values of keys in the base schema can be
7749    overridden using <override>.
7750  - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
7751  - lots of new tests
7752  - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
7753  - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
7754      gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
7755      gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
7756    will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
7757    enums and flags in the specified .h files.
7758  - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
7759    (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
7760  - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
7761  - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
7762    being set due to a premature free
7763  - command line tool: bash completion support
7764  - chain up in _finalize
7765  - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
7766    post-processing
7767  - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
7768    GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
7769  - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
7770    warn)
7771  - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
7772  - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
7773    that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
7774  - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
7775  - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
7776    the keyfile
7777
7778Other:
7779  - always intern GBinding prop names
7780  - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
7781  - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
7782  - GNode docs improvements
7783  - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
7784  - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
7785  - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
7786    SystemTap)
7787
7788Tests:
7789  - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
7790  - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
7791  - improved tests for GKeyfile
7792  - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
7793    CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
7794  - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)

7912Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.8 to GLib 2.25.9
7913===================================================
7914
7915+----------------------------------------------------------------+
7916| WARNING: There have been API changes in GDBus, GSettings and   |
7917| GApplication. Users of these APIs will need to be adapted. In  |
7918| particular, a new release of GTK+ is required to go along with |
7919| this one.                                                      |
7920+----------------------------------------------------------------+
7921
7922* GDBus
7923 - Use Gio's default async implementation
7924 - Fix proxy construction for objects with no properties
7925 - Fix error handling in synchronous initialization
7926 - Do not dispatch calls to unregistered objects
7927 - Add _with_closures alternative functions
7928 - Allow constructing GDBusProxy with well-known names
7929 - Remove GType parameters from GDBusProxy constructors
7930 - Nuke g_bus_watch_proxy API
7931 - Add --xml to gdbus-tool to print raw introspected XML
7932
7933* GSettings
7934 - schema file format change: store (default, options) in gvdb
7935 - Add g_settings_sync()
7936 - Add support for enums and ranges
7937 - 'context' support has been replaced by direct use of
7938   GSettingsBackend
7939
7940* GApplication

7945 - Introduce g_object_notify_by_pspec
7946 - Add GBinding
7947 - The GVariant gtype G_TYPE_VARIANT was changed from boxed
7948   to fundamental. We believe there were no existing users
7949   of the boxed type, so this should not cause any applications
7950   to break.
7951
7952* Test framework
7953 - Add package and version to the test report XML
7954 - Use optparse to parse gtester-report commandline

8402  gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
8403  Packagers will need to adapt to this.
8404
8405* Threading changes:
8406 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
8407   it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
8408   call.
8409 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
8410   when g_type_init() is called.
8411 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
8412

8488Overview of Changes from GLib 2.22.x to GLib 2.23.0
8489===================================================
8490
8491* GIO:
8492 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
8493   suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
8494   replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
8495   GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
8496   GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
8497   while loading or saving it.
8498 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
8499   the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
8500 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
8501
8502* GObject:
8503 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
8504   interfaces to dynamic types.
8505
8506* GModule:
8507 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
8508   it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
8509   against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading
8510   support.
8511
8512* Bugs fixed:
8513 601637 GUnixFDMessage should contain a GUnixFDList

8858Overview of Changes from GLib 2.20.x to GLib 2.21.0
8859===================================================
8860
8861* GIO:
8862 - New helper functions g_cancellable_connect/disconnect to avoid
8863   race conditions when connecting to the "cancelled" signal on
8864   GCancellable.
8865 - New types and methods for dealing with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (and
8866   UNIX domain socket addresses under UNIX). This does not include code
8867   for actual socket I/O.
8868 - GResolver provides asynchronous and cancellable APIs for resolving
8869   hostnames, reverse lookup of IP addresses and resolving SRV records.
8870
8871* Glib now provides hash and comparison functions for int64 and double
8872  types, suitable for use with GHashTable.
8873
8874* GArray, GPtrArray and GByteArray can be ref counted now, and have
8875  boxed types.
8876

9227Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
9228===================================================
9229
9230* Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
9231  of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
9232  significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
9233  no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
9234  also uses less memory overall.
9235
9236* Make g_poll available as public api
9237
9238* New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
9239  that a GError is set or unset
9240
9241* g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
9242
9243* g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
9244  New functions to clean up app infos and content types
9245
9246* When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
9247  and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
9248
9249* Bugs fixed:

10037 - Functions that take a GError now return a boolean to indicate
10038   success, instead of void
10039 - Various performance improvements
10040
10041* GAsyncQueue:
10042 - g_async_queue_new_full: new function that allows to specify
10043   a free function for leftover elements

10759
10760* Memory management:
10761 - Add tests for cache colorization [Tim Janik]

10810
10811Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.0 to GLib 2.9.1
10812=================================================
10813
10814* Memory management
10815 - The slice allocator is implemented [Tim Janik]
10816 - g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to
10817   g_slice_free_chain_with_offset()  [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
10818 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
10819
10820* Data structures
10821 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
10822
10823* Thread support
10824 - Support for Solaris threads has been removed
10825   [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
10826 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
10827   been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
10828   queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
10829   variants  [Martyn Russell]
10830
10831* GObject:
10832 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
10833   moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
10834
10835* Win32 changes:
10836 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
10837
10838* Misc new API:
10839 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
10840   constants [Andrew Paprocki]
10841 - G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT macro to instruct the
10842   compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
10843   by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]
10844 - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an
10845   extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]
10846 - g_param_spec_ref_sink() has been added for consistency [Tim]
10847
10848* $LOGNAME is respected when determining user data. [Laszlo Peter]
10849
10850* Other changes and bug fixes [Tim, Matthias, Behdad,
10851  Christian Persch, Benedikt Meurer, Andrew Paprocki,
10852  Kazuki Iwamoto, Alexis S. L. Carvalho, Stanislav Brabec,
10853  Andreas Schwab, Kalle Vahlman]
10854
10855* Documentation
10856 - Deprecation warnings carry version information [Matthias]
10857 - The slice allocator has been documented [Matthias, Tim]
10858 - Other improvements [Morten Welinder]
10859
10860Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
10861=================================================
10862* Unicode support:
10863 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
10864   adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
10865   enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
10866   [Behdad Esfahbod]
10867 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
10868   (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
10869   been optimized
10870   [Behdad]
10871 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
10872   These functions handle negative offsets now, and
10873   going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
10874   "stutter stepping".
10875   [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
10876
10877* Memory management:
10878 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
10879   GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
10880 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
10881   and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
10882   data structures) have been deprecated, since they
10883   never worked as intended.
10884 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
10885   new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
10886   The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
10887   wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
10888   efficient and scalable implementation.
10889   [Tim Janik, Matthias]
10890
10891* Pattern matching:
10892 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
10893   unnecessary recursion.
10894   [Tim, Matthias]
10895
10896* g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
10897 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
10898   by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
10899   [Matthias]
10900
10901* g_thread_foreach:
10902 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
10903   [Tim, Matthias]
10904
10905* g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
10906 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
10907   GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
10908   in favor of these.
10909   [Roger Leigh]
10910
10911* g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
10912 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
10913   since they are in glib.h
10914   [Matthias]
