383
384Overview of changes in GLib 2.67.1
385==================================
386
387* Deprecate `g_time_zone_new()` in favour of `g_time_zone_new_identifier()`,
388  which makes error checking easier (#553)
389
390* Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should
391  adjust your code to not use `volatile` for atomic variables, `GOnce`
392  variables, or mostly anything else (see
393  http://isvolatileusefulwiththreads.in/c/). (#600)
394
395* Support passing file handles to `gdbus` command line tool (work by
396  Norbert Pocs and Tim Waugh) (#961)

403* Add new `--run-prefix` and `--skip-prefix` options to GTest, to allow running
404  or skipping test suites by prefix (work by Frederic Martinsons) (!1738)
405
406* Fix thread-safety of `GBinding`; see the updated documentation for
407  `g_object_bind_property()` for full details — if your code uses `GBinding`
408  across threads, you should re-check it against the latest documentation, use
409  `g_binding_unbind()` rather than implicitly dropping the binding with your
410  last `g_object_unref()` call, and use `g_binding_dup_source()`/`g_binding_dup_target()`
411  instead of `g_binding_get_source()`/`g_binding_get_target()`
412  (work by Sebastian Dröge) (!1745)

431 - #2233 GSocketClient crashes on connection failure
432 - #2236 Docs: gdbus-codegen example links broken

1535Overview of changes in GLib 2.61.2
1536==================================
1537
1538* Add various new array functions (#236, #269, #373)
1539 - `g_array_copy()`
1540 - `g_ptr_array_copy()`
1541 - `g_ptr_array_extend()`

1546
1547* Rework how D-Bus connections are closed/unreffed when `g_test_dbus_down()` is
1548  called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
1549  rather than silently leaking. (#787)
1550
1551* Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
1552  long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
1553
1554* Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
1555  Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
1556
1557* Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
1558  third-party code should now be using
1559  `GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED}` to control symbol usage (!871)
1560
1561* Improve support for running `ninja test` when GLib is built statically (#1648)
1562
1563* Improve `GNetworkMonitor` detection of offline states (#1788)
1564
1565* Fix build failure on macOS related to missing `_g_content_type_get_mime_dirs`
1566  function (#1791)
1567
1568* Add various installed utilities’ paths to `gio-2.0.pc` (#1796)
1569
1570* Fix keyfile `GSettings` backend and portal (especially relevant to any version
1571  of GLib included in a flatpak runtime) (#1822, !985)
1572
1573* More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
1574
1575* Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
1576
1577* Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
1578  higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
1579
1580* Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1581
1582* Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1583  of packaged libraries (!951)
1584
1585* Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support
1586  on Windows (!979)

2045* Autotools support is gone. (!580)
2046
2047* g_format_size() now uses a no-break space to separate digits and units;
2048  translations will need to be updated accordingly. (#1625)
2049
2050* New g_queue_clear_full() API. (#1464)
2051

2055
2056* Tag various tests as ‘flaky’. These are no longer run routinely on our
2057  upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
2058  not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
2059  machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)
2060
2061* Add overlay support to g_resources_get_info(). (#1445)

2126
2127Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
2128==================================
2129
2130* This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
2131  Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
2132  in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
2133  to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
2134
2135* Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
2136  directory for each unit test. (#538)
2137
2138* Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
2139
2140* Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
2141
2142* Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
2143
2144* Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
2145  `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
2146  misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
2147  still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
2148
2149* Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
2150  large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
2151
2152* Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
2153  and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
2154  ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
2155
2156* Various fixes to the Meson build.
2157
2158* Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
2159  https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
2160  (!196)
2161
2162* `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
2163  https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
2164
2165* Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
2166  running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
2167  upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
2168
2169* Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
2170  portal backends. (!317)
2171
2172* Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
2173  debugging. (!384)
2174
2175* Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
2176
2177* Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
2178  fixes. (!411)
2179
2180* Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
2181
2182* Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
2183  TLS 1.3. (!478)
2184
2185* Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
2186  for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
2187  systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
2188
2189* Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
2190  is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
2191
2192* Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
2193  and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
2194  setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
2195  is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
2196
2197* Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
2198
2199* Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)
2200

2408Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
2409==================================
2410
2411* Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
2412  autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
2413  release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
2414  with Meson or autotools. See:
2415  https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
2416
2417* Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
2418
2419* Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
2420  MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
2421
2422* Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
2423
2424* Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
2425
2426* Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
2427  rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
2428  API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
2429  ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
2430
2431Bugs fixed:
2432 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
2433 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
2434 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)

2439 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
2440 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313

2453Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
2454==================================
2455
2456* G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
2457  definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
2458  appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
2459  of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
2460
2461* Many minor documentation fixes.
2462
2463* Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
2464
2465* Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
2466
2467* Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
2468
2469* Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
2470  its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
2471
2472* Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
2473
2474* MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
2475  passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
2476  rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
2477  See #1476.
2478
2479* Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
2480
2481* Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
2482

2499 !243 tests: Explicitly set TZ=UTC for g_time_val_from_iso8601() testing
2500 #1488 ‘O_CLOEXEC’ undeclared (first use in this function)
2501 !241 glib-mkenums: forbid @filename@/@basename@ in fhead and ftail
2502 !240 gtimer: Ensure arithmetic is correctly signed for ISO 8601 parsing

2519 #1446 Follow-up from "Document difference between g_assert() and g_assert_*() wrt G_DISABLE_ASSERT"
2520 !206 grefstring: Avoid an unnecessary NUL assignment
2521 #1458 g_volume_get_mount returns NULL value after g_volume_mount_finish is called with no error

3566* GLib has a structured logging API, g_log_structured, with support
3567  for writing to the systemd journal. It also supports colored output
3568  in terminals
3569
3570* Some new GBytes API has been added:

3572 - g_compute_hmac_for_bytes
3573

3655Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
3656==================================
3657
3658 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
3659   not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
3660   it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
3661   another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
3662
3663 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
3664   are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
3665   uses prctl() but the pthread api.
3666
3667 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
3668   environment variable.
3669
3670 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
3671   it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

3894Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
3895==================================
3896
3897The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3898symbols from libglib-2.0.so.  It is unlikely that this will have caused
3899any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3900definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3901
3902This release corrects only this problem.
3903
3904Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
3905==================================
3906
3907* We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3908  interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3909  this considerably.  Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
3910
3911* New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.
3912
3913* other fixes

4000Overview of changes in GLib 2.46.0
4001==================================
4002
4003* GTask no longer imposes a fixed limit on the number of tasks that
4004  can be run_in_thread() simultaneously, since doing this inevitably
4005  results in deadlocks in some use cases. Instead, it now has a base
4006  number of threads that can be used "for free", but will gradually
4007  add more threads to the pool if too much time passes without any
4008  tasks completing.
4009
4010  The exact behavior may continue to change in the future, and it's
4011  possible that some future version of GLib may not do any
4012  rate-limiting at all. As a result, you should no longer assume that
4013  GTask will rate-limit tasks itself (or, by extension, that calls to
4014  certain async gio methods will automatically be rate-limited for
4015  you). If you have a very large number of tasks to run, and don't
4016  want them to all run at once, you should rate-limit them yourself.
4017
4018* Disable runtime-deprecation warnings

4272Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
4273==================================
4274
4275* The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
4276  to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
4277  elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
4278  into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
4279  way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
4280  file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
4281
4282* The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
4283  have seen major improvements.
4284
4285  The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
4286  be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
4287  significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
4288  files appear.
4289
4290  The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
4291
4292  The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
4293
4294  The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
4295
4296* The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
4297  about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
4298  Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
4299  in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
4300  already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
4301  you use the --strict option.
4302
4303* The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
4304  since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
4305  to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
4306
4307* GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
4308
4309* The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
4310  has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
4311  default handlers for a generic supertype.
4312
4313* Bug fixes:
4314 627285 inotify file monitor hardwired delay
4315 631597 Segmentation fault in append_escaped_text

4356Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
4357===================================
4358
4359GLib is now considered frozen.  We do not expect any major changes
4360before the release of 2.44.0.
4361
4362 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
4363
4364 * many documentation improvements and cleanups.  We are now
4365   approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
4366   xml will build without warnings.  This will probably be enabled by
4367   default in the next cycle.
4368
4369 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
4370
4371 * new GTask:completed property
4372
4373 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
4374   the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()
4375
4376Bugs fixed:
4377 614684 Make various parts of GObject const-correct
4378 730352 Use inet_pton(), if_nametoindex() and if_indextoname() for newer versions of Windows

4414===================================
4415
4416We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
4417that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves

4928Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
4929=====================================================
4930
4931This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
4932
4933* g_test_run() no longer runs tests in exactly the order they are
4934  registered; instead, it groups them according to test suites (ie,
4935  path components) like the documentation always claimed it did. In
4936  some cases, this can result in a sub-optimal ordering of tests,
4937  relative to the old behavior. The fix is to change the test paths to
4938  properly group together the tests that should run together. (eg, if
4939  you want to run test_foo_simple(), test_bar_simple(), and
4940  test_foo_using_bar() in that order, they should have test paths like
4941  "/simple/foo", "/simple/bar", "/complex/foo-using-bar", not
4942  "/foo/simple", "/bar/simple", "/foo/using-bar" (which would result
4943  in test_foo_using_bar() running before test_bar_simple()).
4944
4945  (The behavior actually changed in GLib 2.36, but it was not
4946  documented at the time, since we didn't realize it mattered.)
4947
4948There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
4949been fixed.
4950
4951* Bugs fixed:
4952 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()
4953 723899 G_DEFINE_TYPE() causes compiler warnings with clang due to foo_get_instance_private

4971Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
4972=====================================================
4973
4974This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
4975clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC.  It also introduces a dependency on
4976pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
4977pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android).  This
4978release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4979of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
4980
4981New API: g_str_to_ascii()
4982
4983* Fixed bugs:

5234Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
5235====================================================
5236
5237 * GSettings fixes/improvements
5238
5239   - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
5240
5241   - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
5242     type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
5243     and description
5244
5245   - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
5246     source.  Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
5247     source.
5248
5249   - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
5250
5251   - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
5252
5253   - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
5254     by the sysadmin)
5255
5256   - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
5257     particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
5258
5259   - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
5260
5261 * Applications/Actions
5262
5263   - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
5264     that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
5265     after construction)
5266
5267   - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
5268     via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
5269
5270   - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
5271     Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
5272     instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
5273     not itself at fault for the errant call)
5274
5275 * Appinfo
5276
5277   - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
5278     accesses that are performed in common situations
5279
5280   - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
5281     are installed/removed
5282
5283   - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
5284     installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
5285
5286 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
5287   "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
5288   as 'my:tag')
5289
5290 * GDBus
5291
5292   - ignore qualified tags, as above
5293
5294   - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
5295     that test programs don't pick them up
5296
5297   - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
5298
5299 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
5300   timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
5301   '/dev/urandom'.  This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
5302   due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
5303
5304 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes.  Many
5305   additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
5306
5307 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
5308   large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
5309   the testcases, but some in glib itself).
5310
5311 * GIO:
5312
5313   - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
5314
5315   - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
5316
5317   - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

5369Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
5370====================================================
5371
5372 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
5373
5374 * GNotification
5375
5376   - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
5377
5378   - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
5379     them can restart the application with an action (via
5380     DBusActivatable)
5381
5382 * GSubprocess
5383
5384   - new API for launching subprocesses
5385
5386   - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
5387
5388   - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
5389
5390   - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
5391     pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
5392
5393 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
5394
5395   - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
5396
5397   - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
5398     actions and listing apps and actions
5399
5400   - bash tab completion is supported
5401
5402 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
5403
5404   - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
5405     it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
5406
5407   - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
5408     DBusActivatable=true
5409
5410   - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
5411     do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
5412     desktop file index)
5413
5414 * File monitors
5415
5416   - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
5417
5418   - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
5419     class and inotify backend
5420
5421   - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
5422     the main context is not running (or is blocked)
5423
5424   - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
5425     GLib worker thread
5426
5427 * GSettings
5428
5429   - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas.  This fixes a
5430     longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
5431     when there are invalid schemas installed
5432
5433   - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
5434
5435 * GIO
5436
5437   - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
5438     thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
5439
5440   - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
5441     construction time
5442
5443   - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
5444     "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
5445     semantics of the interface in each case
5446
5447   - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
5448     expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
5449
5450   - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
5451
5452   - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
5453     have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
5454     stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
5455     dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
5456
5457 * GKeyFile
5458
5459   - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
5460     value as an integer
5461
5462   - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
5463
5464 * Portability improvements
5465
5466   - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
5467
5468   - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
5469     actually support it (like Hurd)
5470
5471   - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
5472
5473 * Other small API changes/additions
5474
5475   - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
5476     search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
5477     GtkSearchBar.  This will also be used by the desktop file index.
5478
5479   - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
5480
5481   - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
5482     G_LOG_ERROR messages
5483
5484 * GMainContext/GSource
5485
5486   - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
5487
5488   - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
5489     try to remove a non-existent source.  We expect that there is some
5490     code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
5491     considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
5492     broken and should probably be fixed.
5493
5494   - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
5495     require use of a linked list
5496
5497 * GObject
5498
5499   - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
5500     object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
5501     officially completely illegal and will abort the program
5502
5503 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
5504
5505 * Bug fixes
5506
5507   - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo.  This should
5508     clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
5509     gphoto, archive, at least).
5510
5511   - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
5512
5513   - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
5514     client
5515
5516   - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
5517     workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
5518     (which shared exactly the same bug)
5519
5520   - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
5521
5522   - many other small fixups (see bug list)
5523
5524  * Many documentation improvements
5525
5526Bugs fixed:
5527 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing

5582What's new in Glib 2.38
5583========================
5584
5585 * Application support
5586
5587  - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5588    desktop entry specification
5589
5590  - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5591    interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5592    standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5593
5594  - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5595    entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5596    to launch other applications
5597
5598  - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5599    to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5600
5601 * GObject
5602
5603  - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5604    This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5605    the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5606    (ie: at a negative offset).  Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5607    any problems that this may have caused.
5608
5609  - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5610    generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5611    equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5612    (allowing memory savings)
5613
5614  - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
5615    provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
5616    private structures and their (now constant) offsets
5617
5618  - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
5619    class_init.  It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5620    has returned.
5621
5622  - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5623    without destroying one of the objects involved
5624
5625 * Icons
5626
5627  - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5628    in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5629    with a finite number of cases
5630
5631  - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5632    in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5633
5634  - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5635    to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5636    types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5637    serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5638    have GdkPixbuf
5639
5640  - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5641
5642 * Actions and menus
5643
5644  - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5645    property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5646    "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5647
5648  - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5649
5650  - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5651    and an API to check them
5652
5653  - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5654    split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
5655
5656  - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
5657    with most functions, but this is not recommended
5658
5659 * Other GIO
5660
5661  - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
5662    properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
5663    service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
5664    interface
5665
5666  - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
5667    recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
5668    particular directory (akin to 'du').
5669
5670  - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
5671    have been added
5672
5673 * Other new API
5674
5675  - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
5676    allow for regexp matching on streams
5677
5678  - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
5679    avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
5680    g_variant_new_printf()
5681
5682 * Testing
5683
5684  - we can now generate TAP output
5685
5686  - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
5687    data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
5688
5689  - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
5690    g_test_trap_fork()
5691
5692 * Other
5693
5694  - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

5817==============================================
5818
5819* Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
5820  application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
5821  desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
5822  the  application with g_action_map_add_action().
5823
5824* GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
5825  of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
5826  activated.
5827
5828* GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
5829
5830* The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because

5966
5967 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
5968
5969 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

6007* The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
6008  and a parser API for them is now provided
6009

6072Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
6073==============================================
6074
6075* It is no longer necessary to call g_type_init().  If you are
6076  loading GLib as a dynamic module, you should be careful to avoid
6077  unloading it, then subsequently loading it again.  This never
6078  really worked before, but it is now explicitly undefined behavior.
6079  Note that if g_type_init() was the only explicit use of a GObject
6080  API and you are using linker flags such as --no-add-needed, then
6081  you may have to artificially use some GObject call to keep the
6082  linker from optimizing away -lgobject. We recommend to use
6083  g_type_ensure (G_TYPE_OBJECT) for this purpose.
6084
6085* This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6086  function.  Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6087  environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6088  As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6089  value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6090
6091* The 'flowinfo' and 'scope_id' fields of GInetSocketAddress
6092  (introduced in GLib 2.32) have been fixed to be in host byte order
6093  rather than network byte order. This is an incompatible change, but
6094  the previous behavior was clearly broken, so it seems unlikely that
6095  anyone was using it.
6096
6097This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
6098
6099 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
6100   the destination file
6101
6102 - fix some 'available since' annotations
6103
6104 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
6105
6106* Bugs fixed:
6107 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code
6108 696014 g_file_copy(): Ensure G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE preserves permissions

6126Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
6127==============================================
6128
6129This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
6130source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
6131ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
6132reasons).  This change only affects Windows.
6133
6134* Bugs fixed:

6186Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
6187==============================================
6188
6189This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
6190modules are now never unloaded.  This is implemented by (effectively)
6191leaking the last reference on dynamic types.  Some testcases that check
6192for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
6193but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking.  Please report
6194any problems.
6195
6196Other changes:
6197 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
6198 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient

6373Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
6374==============================================
6375
6376* This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6377 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6378 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6379 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6380 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6381
6382* We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
6383 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
6384 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
6385 particular, are incompatible.
6386
6387* Bugs fixed in this release:
6388 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants

6432Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
6433==============================================
6434
6435Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
6436made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
6437causing regressions in applications.
6438
6439A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
6440longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
6441instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()).  Bug #687659
6442is tracking this.
6443
6444Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
6445were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden.  This may
6446cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
6447
6448The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
6449
6450 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
6451
6452 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
6453
6454 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
6455
6456 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
6457
6458 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
6459
6460 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
6461
6462 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
6463
6464 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
6465
6466 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

6516Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
6517==============================================
6518
6519These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible.  Please
6520give feedback if they cause trouble:

6523    automatically disconnected on target object destruction
6524
6525  * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
6526
6527The remaining changes should not cause problems.
6528
6529  * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
6530
6531  * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
6532

7104Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.22 to 2.32.0
7105===============================================
7106
7107* It is no longer necessary to use g_thread_init() or to link against
7108  libgthread.  libglib is now always thread-enabled. Custom thread
7109  system implementations are no longer supported (including errorcheck
7110  mutexes).
7111
7112* The thread and synchronisation APIs have been updated.
7113  GMutex and GCond can be statically allocated without explicit
7114  initialisation, as can new types GRWLock and GRecMutex.  The
7115  GStatic_______ variants of these types have been deprecated.  GPrivate
7116  can also be statically allocated and has a nicer API (deprecating
7117  GStaticPrivate).  Finally, g_thread_create() has been replaced with a
7118  substantially simplified g_thread_new().
7119
7120* The g_once_init_enter()/_leave() functions have been replaced with
7121  macros that allow for a pointer to any gsize-sized object, not just a
7122  gsize*.  The assertions to ensure that a pointer to a correctly-sized
7123  object is being used will not work with generic pointers (ie: (void*)
7124  and (gpointer) casts) which would have worked with the old version.
7125
7126* It is now mandatory to include glib.h instead of individual headers.
7127
7128* The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
7129
7130* For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public
7131  dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been
7132  private).  This means that programs got away with calling
7133  g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their
7134  dependencies.
7135
7136  gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause
7137  such programs to break.
7138
7139  The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency
7140  on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib
7141  versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init().
7142
7143* g_debug() output is no longer enabled by default.  It can be enabled
7144  on a per-domain basis with the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable
7145  like
7146    G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=domain1,domain2
7147  or
7148    G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all

7264
7265* GApplication now has g_application_quit()

7413 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
7414   In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
7415   to an overridden property
7416 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
7417   and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
7418
7419* GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
7420  g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
7421
7422* GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

7464Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
7465==============================================
7466
7467* GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus.  Those have been
7468  moved to GtkApplication.
7469
7470* the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
7471  GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
7472  handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup.  This allows Gtk to
7473  properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
7474
7475* lots of documentation improvements
7476
7477* bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
7478
7479* the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
7480  we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
7481
7482* g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
7483
7484* new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
7485
7486* desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
7487
7488* gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
7489  installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
7490
7491* Bugs fixed:
7492 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
7493 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
7494 664699 glib: documentation fixes
7495 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
7496 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
7497 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
7498 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
7499 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped

7508Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
7509==============================================
7510
7511* EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication.  Menus
7512  are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
7513  There have also been many related improvements to action group
7514  functionality.
7515
7516  These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases.  In
7517  particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
7518  menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
7519  types of menubars.
7520
7521* GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
7522  unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
7523  the object was exported on.  It now unconditionally dispatches these
7524  through an idle on the context.
7525
7526* Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
7527  longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
7528  fixes here and there.
7529
7530* Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
7531  byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
7532  API available outside GLib
7533
7534* GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple
7535  connections
7536

7598Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
7599=================================================
7600
7601This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth).  The
7602list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
7603
7604* Major changes to threading and synchronisation
7605 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
7606 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
7607   support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
7608 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
7609   been ripped out.  This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
7610   caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
7611   single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
7612 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
7613   required (and has been deprecated)
7614 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
7615   initialisation.  Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
7616 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
7617   without explicit initialisation.
7618 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
7619   Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
7620 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
7621   deprecated.
7622 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
7623   monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
7624 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
7625   implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
7626 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
7627   (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
7628 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
7629   have been fixed
7630 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated.  The
7631   concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
7632   have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
7633   and ability to manipulate the stack size.
7634 - GThread is now a refcounted type
7635 - other implementation details changed
7636
7637* Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
7638  deprecated/ directory.
7639
7640* New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
7641  warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
7642  implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
7643
7644* GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
7645  platform over a year ago).
7646
7647* It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
7648  "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
7649
7650* The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
7651  missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
7652
7653* Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext.  This is
7654  because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
7655  by both processes.  We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
7656  (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
7657
7658* GApplication
7659  - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
7660  - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
7661    quit logic)
7662
7663* Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
7664
7665* Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
7666  platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
7667
7668* some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
7669  in a multi-threaded program
7670
7671* Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
7672  time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
7673
7674* pkg-config files:
7675  - drop -uninstalled variants
7676  - remove gobject dependency on gthread
7677
7678* New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
7679  implemented without use of a mutex.  Cleaned up atomic-related
7680  compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
7681
7682* SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
7683
7684* Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
7685  introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
7686
7687* GDBus:
7688  - many code generation updates and improvements
7689  - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
7690
7691* GVariant:
7692  - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
7693  - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
7694
7695* GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
7696
7697* mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
7698  instead of mtab
7699
7700* new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
7701  GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
7702
7703* use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
7704  in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
7705
7706* GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
7707
7708* error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
7709
7710* many docs updates
7711
7712* Partial list of bugs closed:
7713 70598  Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

7824Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
7825================================================
7826
7827* GObject includes a generic marshaller, g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
7828  To use it, simply specify NULL as the marshaller in g_signal_new().
7829  The generic marshaller is implemented with libffi, and consequently
7830  GObject depends on libffi now.
7831
7832* API/ABI changes:
7833 - unix signal watches now match the API of all of the other sources
7834 - revert the addition of g_date_time_source_new () from last release

7836* networking and other fixes for Solaris
7837 - we no longer support symbolic port names (ie: from /etc/services)

7840 - avoid getmntinfo
7841 - fix some harmless warnings

7843* GDateTime improvements:
7844 - generally improved standards compliance (with C99)
7845 - support C99-specified format strings: %g, %G, %V, %c, %C, %w
7846 - consult the locale for the preferred 12-hour time format (%r)
7847 - drop support for non-standard %N and broken %W
7848 - better support for formatting non-POSIX (eg: Arabic) numerals
7849 - locale-related test case fixups, and fix some leaks

8020   instead of GVariant*
8021 - improve handling of 'h' type (Unix file descriptor index)
8022

8143Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
8144==============================================
8145
8146* Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
8147  of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
8148  to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
8149  that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
8150  side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
8151  has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
8152
8153* A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
8154  including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
8155
8156* Access to quarks is now lockless
8157
8158* GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
8159
8160* g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
8161
8162* Introspection improvements:
8163 - Add a boxed type for GVariantBuilder
8164 - Annotation fixes in GDBus, GVariant, g_base64_

8220Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
8221==============================================
8222
8223* GDBus:
8224 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
8225   objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
8226   an 'object manager' pattern:
8227   GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
8228   These interfaces have client-side implementations:
8229   GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
8230   And server-side implementations:
8231   GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
8232 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
8233   to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
8234   descriptions in XML
8235
8236* GTest:
8237 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
8238   tests as failed
8239
8240* GDesktopAppInfo
8241 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
8242 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
8243   g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
8244   g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
8245
8246* GHashTable:
8247 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
8248   large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
8249   to store sets.
8250
8251* Unix-specific APIs:
8252  GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
8253  meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
8254  g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
8255  with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
8256  sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
8257  signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
8258
8259* Bugs fixed:
8260 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing
8261 632631 GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_new_string: assertion `g_utf8_validate (string, -1, NULL)' failed

8271 647594 README link to mailing list is broken
8272 647602 Cannot connect to remote message bus via TCP
8273 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.

8275 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
8276 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

8288Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
8289==============================================
8290
8291* GApplication
8292 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
8293 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
8294 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
8295
8296* GDBus
8297 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
8298 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
8299   situations has been improved
8300
8301* GVariant
8302 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
8303 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
8304
8305* GDateTime:
8306 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
8307   match strcmp() semantics
8308 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
8309   has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
8310   called to update the cached information about the local timezone
8311
8312* GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
8313  and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
8314
8315* GSettings:
8316 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
8317
8318* Commandline utilities are now fully translated

8603Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
8604==============================================
8605
8606* The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
8607  dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
8608  64-bit integer.
8609  Affected functions:
8610  g_source_get_time
8611  g_periodic_unblock
8612  g_get_monotonic_time
8613  g_get_real_time
8614  The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
8615  discouraged.
8616
8617* GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
8618
8619* There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
8620  in async GIO APIs:
8621  g_simple_async_result_take_error
8622  g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
8623  g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
8624
8625* There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
8626  g_variant_lookup
8627
8628* It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
8629  D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
8630  G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
8631
8632* Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
8633  g_get_user_runtime_dir
8634
8635* Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed
8636
8637* Bugs fixed:
8638 620263 Add g_clear_object, g_clear_pointer, g_clear_boxed
8639 633075 update Project Files and sources for MSVC 2008/C89
8640 633381 gsettings Makefile rules should handle empty list...
8641 633685 Use g_simple_async_result_{new_,}take_error

8651
8652Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
8653==============================================
8654
8655* GApplication
8656 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
8657 - Support environment passing
8658
8659* GSettings
8660 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
8661 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
8662
8663* GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
8664  timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
8665  which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
8666  been deprecated
8667
8668* Bugs fixed:
8669 158725 free linked list with data
8670 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
8671 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError
8672 629274 GNetworkService does not do fallback when there is no SRV record
8673 631264 gsettings-tool choice/range support
8674 631482 g_date_time_from_instant: 1000000000000000000

8688Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
8689==============================================
8690
8691* GDateTime now has full week number support.
8692  New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
8693
8694* The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
8695  broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
8696
8697* GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
8698
8699* GSettings has more complete support for ranges
8700  New API:
8701    g_settings_get_range
8702    g_settings_range_check
8703  The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
8704
8705* GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
8706  and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
8707
8708* The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
8709  which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
8710  New API:
8711    g_main_context_invoke
8712    g_main_context_invoke_full
8713
8714* The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
8715  removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
8716  looking for default applications.
8717
8718* On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
8719  folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
8720  and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
8721  this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
8722
8723* A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
8724  API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
8725  will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
8726
8727Bug fixes:
8728 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe
8729 618737 "dispatch to context" functionality

8980=====================================================
8981
8982+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8983|   WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI.  Weird, eh?   |
8984+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8985
8986The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
8987glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
8988being distributed in the tarball.  It was being used to build some parts
8989of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones).  This was causing some very
8990serious problems.
8991
8992There have been many other improvements, however:
8993
8994 Build and testing:
8995  - vastly improved test coverage
8996  - old tests moved to the gtester framework
8997  - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
8998  - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
8999
9000 GVariant:
9001  - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
9002
9003 GDBus:
9004  - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
9005  - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
9006  - improve debug output, add some extra options
9007  - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
9008    explaining why
9009  - sort property names correctly
9010  - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
9011    anyway
9012  - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
9013
9014 GSettings:
9015  - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
9016    without mapping functions
9017  - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
9018
9019 Binding:
9020  - improve closure support for bindings
9021  - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
9022
9023 Other:
9024  - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility
9025
9026Bugs closed:
9027 599590 glib build doesn't look for correct pkg-config
9028 619026 avoid warning in gutils.h when using gcc with -Wconversion

9046Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
9047=====================================================
9048
9049+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9050| WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending     |
9051| messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and         |
9052| registering subtrees are affected.  The ABI for GSettingsBackend  |
9053| has also been changed.  For both reasons, a new dconf release is  |
9054| required (and will be along soon).                                |
9055+-------------------------------------------------------------------+

9065  - add support for vendor override files (to change the default values
9066    in a schema)
9067  - change GSettingsBackend vtable
9068  - add g_settings_reset()
9069  - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties

9078    G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
9079  - constness fixes for introspection structures
9080  - clean ups to subtree registration API
9081

9115Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
9116=====================================================
9117
9118+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9119| WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
9120| These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
9121| a new version of GTK+ to be installed.                            |
9122+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9123
9124Build:
9125  - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
9126    -Bsymbolic-functions
9127  - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
9128  - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
9129  - use proper feature test macros for isnan
9130  - use pkg-config to check for zlib
9131  - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9132
9133GDBus:
9134  - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
9135    GDBusProxy.  This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
9136    nobody was doing that.
9137  - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
9138    outgoing messages
9139  - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
9140    GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
9141    themselves
9142  - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
9143    have a serial number
9144  - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
9145    variable
9146  - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
9147    flags
9148  - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
9149    GDBusConnection.  Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
9150    has finished running on GDBus services.
9151  - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
9152    this due to the obvious race)
9153  - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
9154  - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
9155
9156GVariant:
9157  - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
9158  - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
9159    arguments and different behaviour
9160  - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
9161    essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
9162    strings instead of utf8 strings
9163  - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
9164    STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
9165  - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
9166    arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
9167  - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
9168    arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
9169  - improved gobject-introspection annotation
9170  - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
9171  - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
9172
9173GSettings:
9174  - improved documentation
9175  - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
9176  - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
9177    'extends=' attribute).  Values of keys in the base schema can be
9178    overridden using <override>.
9179  - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
9180  - lots of new tests
9181  - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
9182  - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
9183      gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
9184      gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
9185    will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
9186    enums and flags in the specified .h files.
9187  - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
9188    (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
9189  - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
9190  - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
9191    being set due to a premature free
9192  - command line tool: bash completion support
9193  - chain up in _finalize
9194  - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
9195    post-processing
9196  - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
9197    GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
9198  - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
9199    warn)
9200  - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
9201  - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
9202    that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
9203  - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
9204  - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
9205    the keyfile
9206
9207Other:
9208  - always intern GBinding prop names
9209  - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
9210  - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
9211  - GNode docs improvements
9212  - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
9213  - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
9214  - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
9215    SystemTap)
9216
9217Tests:
9218  - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
9219  - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
9220  - improved tests for GKeyfile
9221  - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
9222    CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
9223  - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
9224  - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
9225  - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
9226
9227 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
9228 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
9229 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9230 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
9231 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
9232 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
9233 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
9234 610784 array test failing
9235 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
9236 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
9237 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
9238 622124 implement flags
9239 622127 GSettings extended key validation
9240 622128 retry with default value for failed mapping

9247 623319 use g_parse_debug_string for dbus debug flags
9248 623401 process enums first
9249 623402 schema compiler reports wrong line numbers
9250 623407 g_keyfile_settings_backend_new crashes with the key "/"
9251 623473 zlib should be checked with pkg-config
9252 623537 GDBusProxy has weird checking on NameOwnerChanged
9253 623538 GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed emission for corner cases
9254 623692 directory with file at multiple MLS levels may display empty
9255 623720 gschema.dtd does not contain enum definitions

9346| GApplication. Users of these APIs will need to be adapted. In  |
9347| particular, a new release of GTK+ is required to go along with |
9348| this one.                                                      |
9349+----------------------------------------------------------------+

9548
9549* GDBus D-Bus support has been merged. This provides an API
9550  to replace dbus-glib
9551
9552* GVariant no requires strings to be UTF-8. You can use byte

9634Overview of Changes from GLib 2.24.0 to GLib 2.25.0
9635===================================================
9636
9637* The GSettings framework has been merged. This provides the API to
9638  replace GConf. DConf will provide a backend implementation for it.
9639  GConf will also provide a backend implementation to ease the
9640  transition. We provide utilities to assist with schema conversion
9641  and data migration, as well as a porting guide.

9653Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.6 to GLib 2.24.0
9654===================================================
9655
9656* It is now allowed to call g_thread_init(NULL) multiple times, and
9657  to call glib functions before g_thread_init(NULL) is called
9658  (although the later is mainly a change in docs as this worked before
9659  too). See the GThread reference documentation for the details.
9660
9661* GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
9662  when g_type_init() is called.
9663
9664* GObject no longer allows to call g_object_set() on construct-only properties
9665  while an object is being initialized. If this behavior is needed, setting a
9666  custom constructor that just chains up will re-enable this functionality.
9667
9668* GMappedFile on an empty file now returns NULL for the contents instead of
9669  returning an empty string. The documentation specifically states that code
9670  may not rely on nul-termination here so any breakage caused by this change
9671  is a bug in application code.
9672
9673* Bug fixes:
9674 613601 buglet in dup_close_on_exec_fd
9675 584284 g_data_input_stream_read_until_async behaves confusingly
9676 613748 Write errors in middle of copy cause hang

9730
9731* New API addition: g_malloc_n() and friends used to implement an
9732  overflow-safe family of g_new() macros.
9733
9734* GVariant:
9735 - GVariantBuilder and GVariantIter are now merged.
9736 - The variable arguments API is now merged.
9737 - The parser will be in a future release.
9738
9739* GIO:
9740 - Remove GUtf8InputStream (which never appeared in a stable release)
9741   for now since it doesn't satisfy the needs of its main intended use
9742   case.  We hope to reimplement this feature in a better form in a
9743   future release.
9744
9745* Bugs fixed:

9844
9845* g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
9846
9847* GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
9848  gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
9849  Packagers will need to adapt to this.
9850
9851* Threading changes:
9852 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
9853   it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
9854   call.
9855 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
9856   when g_type_init() is called.

9935===================================================
9936
9937* GIO:
9938 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
9939   suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
9940   replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
9941   GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
9942   GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
9943   while loading or saving it.
9944 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
9945   the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
9946 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
9947
9948* GObject:
9949 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
9950   interfaces to dynamic types.
9951
9952* GModule:
9953 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
9954   it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
9955   against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading
9956   support.

10311* GIO:
10312 - New helper functions g_cancellable_connect/disconnect to avoid
10313   race conditions when connecting to the "cancelled" signal on
10314   GCancellable.
10315 - New types and methods for dealing with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (and
10316   UNIX domain socket addresses under UNIX). This does not include code
10317   for actual socket I/O.
10318 - GResolver provides asynchronous and cancellable APIs for resolving
10319   hostnames, reverse lookup of IP addresses and resolving SRV records.

10394Overview of Changes from GLib 2.19.9 to GLib 2.20.0
10395===================================================
10396
10397* The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() +
10398  friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs
10399  with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26,
10400  FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile
10401  constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate
10402  POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale.  The
10403  only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an
10404  URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of
10405  looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at
10406  the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile
10407  object with the given URI.
10408
10409* Base64 support: Avoid integer overflows. CVE-2008-4316
10410
10411* Bugs fixed:
10412 574019 GChecksum: document and guarantee hex characters in lower case

10689Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
10690===================================================
10691
10692* Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
10693  of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
10694  significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
10695  no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
10696  also uses less memory overall.
10697
10698* Make g_poll available as public api
10699
10700* New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
10701  that a GError is set or unset
10702
10703* g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
10704
10705* g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
10706  New functions to clean up app infos and content types
10707
10708* When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
10709  and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

10785Overview of Changes from GLib 2.17.7 to GLib 2.18.0
10786===================================================
10787
10788* The recommended way of using GLib has always been to only include the
10789  toplevel headers glib.h, glib-object.h and gio.h. GLib enforces this by
10790  generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
10791  To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
10792  default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
10793  To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.
10794
10795* Win32:
10796  - rework the g_poll() implementation to match poll() semantics more closely
10797
10798* Bugs fixed:

11482===================================================
11483
11484Major new features:
11485
11486 * GIO: a VFS API, designed to replace GnomeVFS. The GIO implementation
11487   in GLib has support for local filesystems. The new, separate gvfs
11488   module contains various backend implementations (cifs, ftp, sftp,
11489   http, ...)
11490
11491 * GChecksum: provides various hash algorithms, such as MD5, SHA-1
11492   and SHA-256
11493
11494 * GTest: a test framework
11495
11496Smaller additions:
11497

11505   reporting
11506 - g_markup_collect_attributes: Convenience function for handling
11507   attributes
11508
11509* GKeyFile:
11510 - Functions that take a GError now return a boolean to indicate
11511   success, instead of void
11512 - Various performance improvements
11513
11514* GAsyncQueue:
11515 - g_async_queue_new_full: new function that allows to specify
11516   a free function for leftover elements
11517
11518* GError:
11519 - g_prefix_error and g_propagate_prefixed_error: New functions
11520   to ease error propagation

11887=================================================
11888
11889* Add GSequence, a list that is implemented using
11890  a balanced binary tree.
11891
11892* Add GRegex, an implementation of Perl regular expressions,
11893  based on PCRE.

11898* Support static initialization of GQeues with G_QUEUE_INIT,
11899  g_queue_init() and g_queue_clear().
11900
11901* Add g_string_chunk_clear() for clearing a
11902  GStringChunk.
11903
11904* Add g_unichar_get_script() to obtain Unicode

11909
11910* Add G_GNUC_MAY_ALIAS which wraps the gcc may_alias
11911  type attribute.
11912
11913* G_GNUC_INTERNAL has a working definition for the
11914  Sun Studio compiler. This requires the macro to
11915  be positioned before the function declaration.
11916
11917* The slice allocator can produce detailed debugging
11918  information with G_SLICE=debug-blocks.
11919
11920* Modules support G_DEBUG flags resident-modules and
11921  bind-now-modules.
11922
11923* Add G_DEFINE_DYNAMIC_TYPE() to make it easier
11924  to define types in modules.
11925
11926* Bug fixes: too many to list them in detail here.
11927

12114Overview of Changes from GLib 2.10.0 to GLib 2.10.1
12115===================================================
12116
12117* Bugs fixed:
12118 314794 Broken pthread detection on Darwin [Gregor Riepl]
12119 322476 Missing check for .dylib [Vladimir Panov]
12120 333651 Inconsistent _g_charset_get_aliases prototype [Julio
12121        M. Merino Vidal]
12122 333761 GInitiallyUnowned breaks application code [Sven Herzberg]
12123
12124* Win32 changes:
12125 - Fix g_listenv() implementation.
12126 - Allow up to 100 GPrivate structs
12127
12128* Translation updates (fr,hu,lt,pl,sv)
12129
12130
12131Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.6 to GLib 2.10.0
12132==================================================
12133
12134* The functions g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf() have been removed from
12135  the gprintf.h header, since they are already declared in glib.h. This
12136  doesn't break documented use of gprintf.h, but people have been known
12137  to include gprintf.h without including glib.h.
12138
12139* The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. This adds several
12140  new members to the GUnicodeBreakType enumeration.
12141
12142* The support for Solaris threads has been retired. Solaris has provided
12143  POSIX threads for long enough now to have them available on every
12144  Solaris platform.
12145
12146* 'make check' has been changed to validate translations by calling
12147  msgfmt with the -c option. As a result, it may fail on systems with
12148  older gettext implementations (GNU gettext < 0.14.1, or Solaris gettext).
12149  'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not
12150  support ELF visibility attributes.
12151
12152* The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice
12153  allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details.
12154
12155* A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
12156  intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
12157  concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
12158  inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
12159  bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
12160  system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
12161  carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
12162  to help with the transition.
12163
12164* Bugs fixed:
12165 328997 64bit pointer trunction in glib slab-allocator
12166        [Pascal Hofstee]
12167 331110 g_cond_broadcast(inform_cond) without holding
12168        inform_mutex [Chris Wilson, Sebastian Wilhelmi]
12169 332093 Fix some leaks in the tests [Kjartan Maraas]
12170 332435 g_utf8_strlen returns wrong value if a maximum
12171        number of bytes to check is specified
12172        [Matthias Clasen]
12173 331367 gslice requires more POSIX-like semantics for
12174        GPrivate destructors [Tor Lillqvist]
12175

12194Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.4 to GLib 2.9.5
12195=================================================
12196
12197* Memory management:
12198  Runtime debugging support: The slice allocator
12199  can be turned off by setting G_SLICE=always-malloc
12200  in the environment. Zeroing of freed memory can
12201  now be turned on at runtime by setting
12202  G_DEBUG=gc-friendly in the environment. [Tim Janik]
12203
12204* Bugs fixed:
12205 328253 HP-UX/IA-64 uses ".so" as default shared library
12206        extension [Albert Chin]
12207 143380 unicode-encoding test fails converting to UTF-16

12218  Fix a problem with g_object_compat_control() which
12219  can lead to segfaults in GTK+ applications on 64bit
12220  platforms.
12221
12222* Thread suppport:

12314Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.0 to GLib 2.9.1
12315=================================================
12316
12317* Memory management
12318 - The slice allocator is implemented [Tim Janik]
12319 - g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to
12320   g_slice_free_chain_with_offset()  [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
12321 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
12322
12323* Data structures
12324 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
12325
12326* Thread support
12327 - Support for Solaris threads has been removed
12328   [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
12329 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
12330   been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
12331   queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
12332   variants  [Martyn Russell]
12333
12334* GObject:
12335 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
12336   moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
12337
12338* Win32 changes:
12339 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
12340
12341* Misc new API:
12342 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
12343   constants [Andrew Paprocki]
12344 - G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT macro to instruct the
12345   compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
12346   by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]
12347 - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an
12348   extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]
12349 - g_param_spec_ref_sink() has been added for consistency [Tim]
12350
12351* $LOGNAME is respected when determining user data. [Laszlo Peter]
12352
12353* Other changes and bug fixes [Tim, Matthias, Behdad,
12354  Christian Persch, Benedikt Meurer, Andrew Paprocki,
12355  Kazuki Iwamoto, Alexis S. L. Carvalho, Stanislav Brabec,
12356  Andreas Schwab, Kalle Vahlman]
12357
12358* Documentation
12359 - Deprecation warnings carry version information [Matthias]
12360 - The slice allocator has been documented [Matthias, Tim]
12361 - Other improvements [Morten Welinder]
12362
12363Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
12364=================================================
12365* Unicode support:
12366 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
12367   adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
12368   enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
12369   [Behdad Esfahbod]
12370 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
12371   (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
12372   been optimized
12373   [Behdad]
12374 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
12375   These functions handle negative offsets now, and
12376   going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
12377   "stutter stepping".
12378   [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
12379
12380* Memory management:
12381 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
12382   GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
12383 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
12384   and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
12385   data structures) have been deprecated, since they
12386   never worked as intended.
12387 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
12388   new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
12389   The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
12390   wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
12391   efficient and scalable implementation.
12392   [Tim Janik, Matthias]
12393
12394* Pattern matching:
12395 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
12396   unnecessary recursion.
12397   [Tim, Matthias]
12398
12399* g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
12400 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
12401   by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
12402   [Matthias]
12403
12404* g_thread_foreach:
12405 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
12406   [Tim, Matthias]
12407
12408* g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
12409 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
12410   GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
12411   in favor of these.
12412   [Roger Leigh]
12413
12414* g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
12415 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
12416   since they are in glib.h
12417   [Matthias]

12594
12595Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
12596=================================================
12597
12598* GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of 'GLib filename encoding', which is the
12599  on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. All GLib functions
12600  returning or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect
12601  filenames in this encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing
12602  with pathnames have been wrapped. These wrappers are declared in the
12603  header <glib/gstdio.h> which must be included explicitly; it is not
12604  included through <glib.h>.
12605
12606  On current (NT-based) Windows versions, where the on-disk file names
12607  are Unicode, these wrappers use the wide-character API in the C
12608  library. Thus applications can handle file names containing any
12609  Unicode characters through GLib's own API and its POSIX wrappers,
12610  not just file names restricted to characters in the system codepage.
12611
12612  To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against
12613  older versions of GLib, the Windows DLL still provides entry points
12614  with the old semantics using the old names, and applications
12615  compiled against GLib 2.6 will actually use new names for the
12616  functions. This is transparent to the programmer.
12617
12618  When compiling against GLib 2.6, applications intended to be
12619  portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into
12620  consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose
12621  names have been constructed from strings returned from GLib.
12622
12623* Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed
12624  to return UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for
12625  applications compiled against older versions of GLib.
12626
12627* The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
12628  must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
12629  with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not.
12630  In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that,
12631  GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed
12632  header files and were never intended to be exported.
12633
12634* To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GLib, when compiled
12635  with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
12636  points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
12637  IA__, may be seen when debugging a GLib program.
12638
12639* On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window when printing
12640  warning messages if stdout or stderr are invalid, as they are in
12641  "Windows subsystem" (GUI) applications. Simply redirect stdout or
12642  stderr if you need to see them.
12643
12644* The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many
12645  thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads
12646  implementation on Linux) where it's not possible to call waitpid()
12647  for a child created in a different thread. For this reason, for
12648  maximum portability, you should structure your code to fork all
12649  child processes that you want to wait for from the main thread.
12650
12651* A problem was recently discovered with g_signal_connect_object();
12652  it doesn't actually disconnect the signal handler once the object being
12653  connected to dies, just disables it. See the API docs for the function
12654  for further details and the correct workaround that will continue to
12655  work with future versions of GLib.
12656
12657* Major new APIs
12658  - GOption, a commandline option parser
12659  - GKeyFile, a parser/editor for the .ini like files
12660  - Functions to support the XDG basedir specification
12661  - Wrappers for common POSIX pathname functions to handle filename
12662    encodings consistently. On Windows, these use UTF-8.
12663
12664* Miscellaneous new functions
12665  - g_filename_display_name() converts filenames in displayable UTF-8 strings
12666  - g_uri_list_extract_uris() splits uri lists
12667  - g_date_get_iso8601_week_of_year() gets ISO 8601 week numbers
12668  - g_log_set_default_handler() installs an alternate default log handler
12669  - g_get_language_names() obtains a list of applicable locale names
12670  - g_strv_length() calculates the length of NULL-terminated string arrays
12671  - g_win32_get_windows_version() determines the Windows version
12672  - G_GNUC_INTERNAL marks functions as non-exported
12673  - glib_check_version() checks the GLib version at runtime
12674  - g_debug() completes the family of logging functions
12675
12676* Performance improvements
12677  - Optimize g_utf8_validate()
12678  - Optimize g_markup_parse_context_parse()
12679  - Reduce signal connection complexity from O(n) to O(1)
12680  - Get rid of many PLT entries for internally used exported symbols
12681  - Reduce code size by removing literal strings from g_return_if_fail()
12682
12683* Other changes
12684  - On Windows, GLib functions that take file name arguments now require
12685    those to be in UTF-8. Functions that return file names return UTF-8.
12686  - Use higher precision for mathematical constants
12687  - Don't convert to/from UTF-8 in g_filename_to_uri/g_filename_from_uri
12688  - Support ll as printf format modifier for long long on all platforms
12689  - Clean up the ABI and enforce the list of exported symbols
