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 2201* Bugs fixed: 2202 - #107 The "g_key_file_get_comment" interface returns comment with unexpected new line symbol at the end 2203 - #179 g_object_unref assert in debug code 2204 - #277 'destroy_data' in g_cclosure_new is registered as finalize notifier instread invalidate. 2205 - #538 Add helpers to redirect XDG_*_HOME to a temp dir for unit tests 2206 - #542 gdbus-codegen does not honor "Property.EmitsChangedSignal" annotations 2207 - #656 check for -Werror=format-security broken 2208 - #734 Provide a way to instantiate a GDBusProxy-derived class from a GDBusConnection and a object path without blocking 2209 - #827 gmain: Clarify that g_source_set_callback() is safe on attached sources 2210 - #1055 Provide alignment macros 2211 - #1119 GVolumeMonitor: Results don't reflect current state but state when application was launched 2212 - #1191 add g_assert_equal_variants 2213 - #1261 Add option to leave <default> in gschema empty 2214 - #1271 fstab binds appear as mounts (x-gvfs-hide is being ignored) 2215 - #1310 gdbusproxy: make g-name-owner property useful with unique names 2216 - #1313 Meson: Rework the config.h generation 2217 - #1342 Automatically realign data passed to g_variant_new_from_bytes() or g_variant_new_from_data() 2218 - #1343 g_date_set_parse: Parses "September" in Polish incorrectly 2219 - #1362 Incorrect documentation about GSettings child add/remove notifications 2220 - #1452 GFileInfo: unable to retrieve correct modification time of links and mounted volumes on Windows 2221 - #1471 Incorporate oss-fuzz fuzz targets into GLib 2222 - #1489 Use `ld -b binary` to speed up GResource generation for linking 2223 - #1498 distcheck fails in distclean 2224 - #1506 error: redefinition of typedef 'GKqueueFileMonitor' 2225 - #1509 test_timeval_to_iso8601_overflow: 'out' should be NULL 2226 - #1513 GIcon regression? 2227 - #1514 gio/appinfo test sometimes fails in CI 2228 - #1518 /network-monitor/create-in-thread fails in (LXC) containers on glib-2-56 2229 - #1520 Change conditions for installing m4 macros 2230 - #1522 Trash not working on NTFS folder accessed from symlink 2231 - #1523 GIO NetworkMonitor doesn't reflect the current network state 2232 - #1525 GTask allows (buggy) application code to cause callback to be called twice, without warning 2233 - #1527 Meson doesn't install data for installed-tests 2234 - #1528 Meson tests are hard to debug in an autobuilder environment 2235 - #1530 tests/mainloop-test appears to be flaky 2236 - #1535 meson: installed-test metadata not run in TAP mode 2237 - #1536 meson: spurious dependencies on convenience libraries in .pc files 2238 - #1537 meson: absolute paths to ${builddir} included in gtk-doc HTML 2239 - #1538 meson: G_HAVE_GROWING_STACK defined differently 2240 - #1539 meson: Some files are unnecessarily installed executable 2241 - #1541 meson: timeloop-closure test not installed 2242 - #1542 meson: /usr/lib/glib2.0/installed-tests/glib/gdbus-peer: error while loading shared libraries: libgdbus-example-objectmanager.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 2243 - #1544 meson: gtester-report #! not replaced with ${PYTHON} 2244 - #1546 Cross-compilation fails in 2.58 2245 - #1556 build: Too long file path issue with meson on Windows 2246 - #1562 GDate test suite fails with latest glibc 2247 - #1570 ghash.c:694:27: left shift of 1 by 31 places cannot be represented in type 'int' 2248 - #1572 Flags validation fails 2249 - #1575 g_date_time_format() should have format attribute 2250 - #1576 Fails to build with Meson on Debian armel (armv5te EABI softfloat little-endian) 2251 - #1580 glib-compile-resources using strings breaks building e.g. GTK+ on MS Visual C, which limits strings to 65535 chars 2252 - #1581 Memory used for reference counted data might be misaligned. 2253 - #1588 Moving a bookmark item to the same URI causes a crash 2254 - #1589 g_log_writer_is_journald memoizes a single result, even though it accepts a parameter 2255 - #1590 tests: g-file-info-filesystem-readonly fails if run more than once with fuse & bindfs installed 2256 - #1594 Return value of g_dbus_connection_get_unique_name not annotated as nullable 2257 - #1600 g_timeout_source_new_seconds overflows when given interval > (G_MAXUINT / 1000) 2258 - #1601 appinfo test fix is defective 2259 - #1605 g_date_time_format fails when used with non ASCII format string on POSIX locale 2260 - #1615 gdbus-codegen not generating nullable annotation 2261 - !196 [RFC] build: Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+ 2262 - !200 Add a new GTlsError to indicate protocol downgrade attacks 2263 - !208 GHashTable improvements 2264 - !219 glocalfilemonitor: Fallback to poll file monitor for NFS 2265 - !238 W32 GFileInfo improvements 2266 - !250 Application replace 2267 - !264 glib-compile-resources: encode data as string 2268 - !268 build: simplify alloca checks.

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) 2435 !265 Network monitor again 2436 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file 2437 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser 2438 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array 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 2441 !267 ci: Add an autotools job 2442 2443* Translation updates: 2444 Czech 2445 Galician 2446 Indonesian 2447 Italian 2448 Kazakh 2449 Korean 2450 Turkish 2451 2452 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).

Please watch for and report unintentional fallout. 3910 3911* New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math. 3912 3913* other fixes 3914 3915Bugs fixed: 3916 696324 gtester-report doesn't work with Python 3.x 3917 719966 glib: Add missing (nullable) and (optional) annotations 3918 752837 gobject and glib-compile-resources rely on .CRT$XCU section, no longer works with Win 10 UCRT (VS 2015) 3919 755364 make gtkdoc-check happy again 3920 756134 Segmentation fault on calling g_simple_action_group_add_action with bad action constructor call 3921 756179 gwin32.c: Replace VerifyVersionInfoW() with RtlGetVersion() due to API deprecation 3922 756988 GSequence should document each function's complexity 3923 757294 Move G_POLLFD_FORMAT to glibconfig.h 3924 757374 macros: clean up "inline" mess 3925 757451 doc: fix g_task_attach_source() example 3926 757628 gio tests fail to build when cross compiling 2.46.1 3927 757693 Invalid free in g_local_file_trash() 3928 757742 Fix up annotations in ghash.c 3929 758181 GTask: fix wrong example code 3930 3931Translations updated: 3932 Greek 3933 Hebrew 3934 Hungarian 3935 Norwegian bokmål 3936 Portuguese 3937 Scottish Gaelic 3938 Simplified Chinese 3939 Spanish 3940 3941Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.1 3942================================== 3943 3944* The Unicode support has been updated to version 8.0 of the Unicode standard 3945 3946* GDesktopAppInfo no longer sets the DISPLAY environment variable when 3947 launching apps.

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 4019 4020* Fix marshalling of flags on bigendian 64bit architectures 4021 4022* Translation updates 4023 Brazilian Portuguese 4024 Danish 4025 German 4026 Latvian 4027 Russian 4028 Turkish 4029 4030 4031Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.8 4032================================== 4033 4034* utf8 validation and utf8-to-ucs4 conversion are faster 4035 4036* Small speedups to property change notification 4037 4038* Various other small optimizations for GQuark, GData 4039 4040* Bugs fixed: 4041 696426 GParamSpecTypeInfo do not need to be static 4042 735429 Cleanup MSVC Project Files Generation 4043 738504 Optimize UTF-8 decoding by unrolling branches and expressions 4044 742903 Add missing (transfer) annotation to GString 4045 748633 g_set_object order of operations 4046 754431 Fix build of glib/gstrfuncs.c on Windows 4047 754560 gioerror: Add more mappings for WinSock error codes 4048 754582 Glib cannot compile 4049 754601 Make g_strerror work with non-glibc POSIX systems 4050 754636 tests/unicode-encoding test fails for glib 2.45.7 on x86-64 4051 754788 more g_strerror stuff 4052 754831 autocleanups: Add GString type 4053 754924 Improve test coverage of g_utf8_validate() by added known-... 4054 754986 Avoid unnecessary signal emission during draw 4055 4056* Translation updates: 4057 Italian 4058 Kazakh 4059 Korean 4060 Lithuanian 4061 Slovenian 4062 Swedish 4063 4064 4065Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.7 4066================================== 4067 4068* Add G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_IS_VOLATILE for use by non-POSIX-like 4069 backends (e.g. cloud storage). 4070 4071* GFileMonitor: Make the inotify backend work with atomic renames again 4072 4073* GSettings: change notification is again working unconditionally 4074 4075* GListStore has a sort function now 4076 4077* Test infrastructure: 4078 - Tests are now required to have unique names 4079 - TAP support has been improved 4080 - A macro for asserting that two memory regions have identical content 4081 has been added 4082 4083* Bugs fixed: 4084 708525 A "g_file_query_info" on the file path "/sys/kernel/debug/hid"... 4085 742849 inotify: send paired events to both sides 4086 744060 Update GObject tutorial documentation to use G_DECLARE_FINAL_T... 4087 747364 Fix GError leak in g_file_query_writable_namespaces() 4088 749492 Support file creation time on FreeBSD and NetBSD 4089 752769 (g_socket_receive_message | g_socket_send_message) performance 4090 753745 glib-genmarshal still needed for cross-compilation 4091 754152 Add g_list_store_sort 4092 754211 Memory leak in g_file_enumerator_iterate () 4093 754264 GLib 2.44 certificate chain construction fails if the PEM incl... 4094 754283 gtestutils: add g_assert_cmpmem() 4095 754284 gtestutils: print the TAP test plan first, not last 4096 754286 misc gtestutils fixes 4097 754307 size of array '_GStaticAssertCompileTimeAssertion_3387' is neg... 4098 4099 4100* Translation updates: 4101 Chinese (Taiwan) 4102 French 4103 Galician 4104 Greek 4105 Hebrew 4106 Hungarian 4107 Indonesian 4108 Polish 4109 Portuguese 4110 4111 4112Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.6 4113================================== 4114 4115* Fix a test failure and a build failure 4116 4117Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.5 4118================================== 4119 4120* GNetworkMonitor now provides information about metered networks 4121 4122* g_mem_set_vtable has been deprecated; it has not been working for 4123 quite a while.

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 4316 661767 merge/improve various bits of run-in-thread functionality 4317 687223 cleverer GThreadPool management 4318 711547 win32: silence some build warnings 4319 719966 glib: Add missing (nullable) and (optional) annotations 4320 726447 Possibly an error in text string 4321 728663 W32: wrong stat struct is used when built with MinGW-w64 4322 728669 W32: GLocalFile can't measure size of files larger than 2^32... 4323 730188 gsocket: Document FD ownership with g_socket_new_from_fd() 4324 733325 Several regex tests fail with pcre3 8.35 4325 738207 Add a way to set SO_SENDBUF and SO_RECVBUF on listener (and... 4326 739850 GClosure: add valgrind hints 4327 741791 gmain: Save errno when handling unix signals 4328 744282 gvfs-open for application/x-virt-viewer changed behaviour bet... 4329 745255 Add support for copying sessions between GTlsClientConnections 4330 745745 gdbus: fix out-of-bound array access 4331 745821 Don't use __alloc_size__ attribute with clang 4332 746749 GLib-GIO:ERROR:inotify-kernel.c:327:ik_source_dispatch: ass... 4333 746753 Glib-compile-resources --generate-header not using ".h" as ... 4334 747209 glib-compile-schemas ought to reject repeated <summary> and... 4335 747349 Conversion of gdbus to use GTask causes deadlocks 4336 747363 gatomic: Add missing new line in API doc comment 4337 747472 Don't ignore already-installed schemas with multiple <summa... 4338 747541 gdbus segfaults with invalid --dest 4339 747772 Having hardcoded utf8 strings in the source code does not p... 4340 748019 gsocketconnection: Fix copy-pasto in documentation 4341 748177 not all test schemas are distributed, "make distcheck" fails 4342 4343* Translation updates: 4344 Basque 4345 Czech 4346 Danish 4347 Finnish 4348 German 4349 Hebrew 4350 Icelandic 4351 Norwegian bokmål 4352 Russian 4353 Turkish 4354 4355 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.

NULL pointer dereferences. 4850 4851* Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types 4852 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata). 4853 4854* use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn handling of desktop 4855 files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env() 4856 4857* add support for g_desktop_app_info_get_implementations() to find 4858 desktop files that have an Implements= line for a given interface 4859 4860* GHmac has gained SHA-512 support 4861 4862* support the new mimeapps specification (most notably, moving the 4863 assoications/defaults configuration to ~/.config/mimeapps.list). 4864 4865* libgobject is now linked -Wl,-z,nodelete when possible to avoid errors 4866 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself 4867 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded 4868 4869* ... and many other bug fixes. 4870 4871 623552 glib warns if backtrace.py is not present 4872 667468 glib-2.30.2:

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 4954 724859 Let the test_wait_until() test also run on non-*nix 4955 724916 gio unmount code makes XFCE's Thunar crash 4956 725651 GSubprocessLauncher: Does not copy the calling process environment. 4957 725656 Unskip GVariantDict 4958 725891 gio tests: add codegen to BUILT_SOURCES 4959 726046 Recent commit created symbolic icons issues 4960 4961* Translations: 4962 Chinese 4963 French 4964 Korean 4965 Latvian 4966 Norwegian bokmål 4967 Portuguese 4968 Russian 4969 Traditional Chinese 4970 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: 4984 670144 unconditional use of CLOCK_MONOTONIC is broken 4985 673607 invalid assumption in g_cond_wait_until() / g_get_monotonic_time() API 4986 710142 Add more impressive transliteration to GLib 4987 722360 make check fails 4988 722604 (partial) Various tests are failing with 2.39.3 4989 723316 g_hash_table_iter_remove() should be explicit whether or not it is safe while iterating the table 4990 724609 Fix build of GIO on Windows 4991 724687 gmain: make monotonic time really monotonic, everywhere 4992 724706 gsource: document priority of child sources 4993 724707 some GSocket source improvements 4994 724839 GMainContext: some source ID cleanups 4995 724858 Dist gtranslit-data.h 4996 724994 Missing icons for bookmarks in file chooser 4997 725023 Can no longer find apps by executable/desktop file name 4998 4999* Translations: 5000 Lithuanian 5001 Polish 5002 Thai 5003 5004Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.4 to GLib 2.39.90 5005==================================================== 5006 5007* Fixed bugs: 5008 625408 make GVariant dictionaries more useful 5009 660809 document that if you fail a precondition check, documented guarantees do not apply 5010 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects 5011 679957 g_inet_address_new_from_string is not able to handle dots and numbers IPv4 addresses 5012 712837 gvariant: Document the need to cast varargs when constructing GVariants 5013 721458 g_simple_async_result_is_valid has a NULL check for the wrong source_tag 5014 721977 improve split handling of command line arguments 5015 722033 win32: fixup lib.exe invocation 5016 723422 Fix g_socket_get_available() with TCP on Windows 5017 723616 gio/tests: fix race when generating code 5018 724001 gsubprocess: Fix a broken link in the documentation 5019 724124 glib/tests/collate.c fails if no en_US locale 5020 724126 intermittent GApplication test failure: /gapplication/local-actions: lines of output permuted 5021 724233 gsocketservice: Note g_socket_listener_close() for closing open sockets 5022 724239 soup_session_queue_message -

use POSIX-specified <poll.h> over <sys/poll.h> 5091 5092 - many improvements to Visual Studio projects and and some build 5093 fixes for Windows 5094 5095 * tests 5096 - a very large number of improvements in test coverage 5097 5098 - don't report skipped tests as failures 5099 5100 - return 77 if we skip all tests in an executable 5101 5102 - improve gtest documentation and fix some minor issues 5103 5104 - fix g_test_trap_reached_timeout() return value 5105 5106 - remove some dead code uncovered during test coverage expansion 5107 5108 - Use tap mode for installed tests too, when using tap 5109 5110 * fix races in unix signal handling 5111 5112 * make our GVariant-based commandline tools (glib-compile-schemas, 5113 gdbus, gapplication) print out GVariant parse errors in context 5114 5115 * GApplication now has a --gapplication-service command line switch to 5116 turn any GApplication into a service 5117 5118 * improve compatibility of GApplication and GOptionContext 5119 5120 * fix gsettings.m4 wrt. builddir != srcdir with non-recursive make 5121 5122 * use a directory monitor in GKeyfileSettingsBackend 5123 5124 * improve robustness of some GIcon classes 5125 5126Bugs fixed 5127 141251 poll(2) is in <poll.h>, not <sys/poll.h> per SUS standard 5128 613732 [PATCH] gobject.py: Don't install frame filters when GDB does not support them 5129 708212 g_variant_parser_error_get_quark() has unexpected name. 5130 710965 GApplication: add --gapplication-service switch 5131 711090 periodic failure of spawn-multithreaded async testcase 5132 712171 gsettings.m4: @GSETTINGS_RULES@: Support srcdir != builddir with nonrecursive make 5133 712630 Revert "gsettings m4: check for .xml in src/builddir" 5134 715028 GVariant: add way to print context of parse errors 5135 719344 Fix the various test programs (or GLib itself) on Windows 5136 720263 gtestutils: skipping a test should count as success, not failure 5137 720539 gdbus-codegen: Fix crasher in goa-using apps 5138 720635 Make gdb pretty-printers compatible with Python3 5139 720891 g_settings_get_child does not inherit the backend 5140 721034 glib 2.38.2 cannot be compiled with SunStudio Compiler under Solaris 5141 721059 g_subprocess_launcher_set_environ vs "environ" 5142 721074 kqueue: deadlock 5143 721087 Missing -lselinux in pkg-config --libs --static gio-2.0 5144 721324 Error message is printed to stdout 5145 721624 Regression in GTest framework reorders existing test cases 5146 721625 backwards NEWS entry about g_source_remove change 5147 721796 insufficient escaping in g_dbus_annotation_info_generate_xml() 5148 721947 Improve GApplication ⇔ GOptionContext compatibility 5149 5150Translations updated: 5151 Brazilian Portuguese 5152 Galician 5153 Greek 5154 Hebrew 5155 5156Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.1 to GLib 2.39.2 5157=================================================== 5158 5159* Portability 5160 5161 -

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 5318 5319Translations updated: 5320 Assamese 5321 Galician 5322 Greek 5323 Spanish 5324 Tamil 5325 5326Bugs fixed: 5327 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes 5328 637257 g_tls_client_connection_gnutls_retrieve_function needs to be able to block 5329 637956 GKeyfileSettingsBackend should ignore file deletions 5330 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema 5331 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files 5332 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key 5333 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is 5334 680838 Need g_settings_schema_source_get_schemas() 5335 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata 5336 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names 5337 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed 5338 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect 5339 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right 5340 697348 GTestDBus should unset DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS, DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE 5341 710133 Emit backward compatible code with gdbus-codegen 5342 710691 glib-networking: locking during implicit handshake 5343 710738 GRand has lame fallback for Windows 5344 710859 Typo in gio docs 5345 710885 Two fixes for GApplication 5346 710962 error: 'F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC' undeclared (first use in this function) 5347 710964 Add g_hash_table_get_key_array() 5348 710991 test: g_debug messages shouldn't affect g_assert_expected_messages 5349 711016 g_settings_list_keys () segfaults for empty schemas 5350 711048 glocalfileinputstream.c allows skip past end of file 5351 711049 Fix build of GLib-GIO 2.39.x on Windows/MSVC 5352 711064 Adding child source to blocked source can cause a segfault 5353 711070 Copying a symlink over another one segfaults 5354 711099 gapplication test failure 5355 711520 GDesktopAppInfo: allow more than one level of legacy folder prefixes 5356 711556 Add GAppInfoMonitor 5357 711557 Add g_desktop_app_info_search() 5358 711600 trivial portability fix 5359 711632 The desktop-app-info test fails during make check 5360 711754 gmain: Fix use of uninitialized memory in sigaction structure 5361 711755 private: Use threading primitives correctly in private test 5362 711756 gthreadpool: Don't pass bad data to GThreadPool sorter 5363 711768 Fix memory leaks in libgmodule tests 5364 711775 utils: Don't free memory owned by glib in test 5365 711782 boxed: Fix double free in boxed unit tests 5366 711803 gsubprocess: Fix a number of leaks and a segfault 5367 711808 gtestdbus: Fix leak of GMainLoop 5368 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 5528 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART 5529 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects 5530 672102 GSubprocess class 5531 684842 Seeks on GMemoryOutputStream don't have opaque semantics 5532 688492 Add a notification API 5533 691581 g_output_stream_real_splice_async doesn't use overriden read/write_async functions 5534 702516 gfileutils: Make -Werror=format-nonliteral happy 5535 704218 New gapplication(1) tool 5536 704593 g_setenv: on some systems (BSD, OSX…), setting a variable to NULL crashes the system 5537 704882 GLocalDirectoryMonitorClass mount_notify field is useless 5538 704887 file monitoring improvements 5539 705029 Support for Solaris credentials 5540 705688 g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas 5541 706254 Afp backend cannot copy files 5542 707887 Attempting to create GObject Property with underscore prefix segfaults 5543 708042 gapplication: don't rely on cmdline being finalized immediately 5544 708265 add support for GNU/Hurd in GLib D-Bus Library 5545 708266 fix error code checks when SOCK_CLOEXEC is defined but not supported 5546 708529 xdgmime: valgrind warns about invalid reads 5547 708677 incorrect object path 'deskop' used in gio/gdbusobjectmanagerclient.c 5548 708714 Typo in docs of GLIB_VERSION_2_40 macro. 5549 708753 gdesktopappinfo: Call g_file_get_path() on demand 5550 708793 glib build fails with clang < 3.1: error: expected ';' after top level declarator 5551 708828 GDBusProxy: add the ability to call methods on non autostarted proxies 5552 708860 glib-2.38.0 doesn't build on Solaris 10 5553 708972 gnetworking.h in tarball screws up out-of-source builds 5554 709113 [PATCH] Main loop dispatch path has needless linked list 5555 709227 Update to unicode 6.3.0 5556 709301 goutputstream: Add clear warning about short writes to _write_bytes() and async version 5557 709326 GDesktopAppInfo crashes creating a DBusActivatable app without a filename 5558 709440 Fix overloading of "source" and "target" terminology in GBinding 5559 709615 Cannot use g_test_expect_message with g_error 5560 709753 Add helpers for string matches when using GtkSearchBar-like widget 5561 709898 Expose thumbnail validity in GFile attributes 5562 709966 Remove outdated documentation 5563 709994 Minor fix for HACKERS doc to direct hackers to proper help file 5564 709995 Obsolete makefile rules 5565 710002 G_MAXUINT may be assigned as duplicate source id 5566 710313 Memory leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 with invalid integer values 5567 710345 [Patches] Fix some redundant-decls 5568 710496 g_locale_to/from_utf8() doc updated. 5569 710625 g_file_error_from_errno: Remove unneeded breaks 5570 710666 Frame clock related bug fixes 5571 710724 gmain: Warn when g_source_remove() fails 5572 710726 Work around D-Bus bug with path_namespace='/' match rules 5573 5574Translations: 5575 Assamese 5576 Brazilian Portuguese 5577 Indonesian 5578 Russian 5579 Tamil 5580 Traditional Chinese 5581 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 5695 5696Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.93 to 2.38.0 5697================================================ 5698 5699* fix the documentation for GSourceFuncs 5700 5701* fix compilation on OS X/ppc64 5702 5703Bugs fixed: 708445, 647145 5704 5705Translations updated: 5706 Danish 5707 French 5708 Portuguese 5709 Punjabi 5710 5711Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.92 to 2.37.93 5712================================================ 5713 5714* a couple of bugfixes in the new g_file_measure_disk_usage() API 5715 5716* updated Traditional Chinese translation 5717 5718Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.7 to 2.37.92 5719=============================================== 5720 5721* new API g_file_measure_disk_usage() similar to du(1) 5722 5723* minor fixes 5724 5725* Translation updates: 5726 Assamese 5727 Belarusian 5728 Brazilian Portuguese 5729 Catalan 5730 Czech 5731 Galician 5732 German 5733 Hungarian 5734 Indonesian 5735 Italian 5736 Korean 5737 Korean 5738 Latvian 5739 Lithuanian 5740 Polish 5741 Serbian 5742 Slovenian 5743 Spanish 5744 5745Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.6 to 2.37.7 5746============================================== 5747 5748* GDateTime now supports %:z formatting variations 5749 for timezones.

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 6109 6110* Translations updated: 6111 Basque 6112 Czech 6113 Gujarati 6114 Hindi 6115 Hungarian 6116 Japanese 6117 Malayalam 6118 Marathi 6119 Odia 6120 Punjabi 6121 Russian 6122 Tadjik 6123 Tamil 6124 Telugu 6125 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 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 6199 * annotations fixes 6200 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value() 6201 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property 6202 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class 6203 * documentation fixes 6204 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals 6205 6206Bugs fixed: 6207 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings. 6208 692827 configure test fails for arpa_nameser.h 6209 692829 new Btrfs support causes build failure on Solaris 6210 693285 GDBusObjectManagerClient: won't emit object-added|removed if name-owner arrives later 6211 693502 Cross-compiling documentation: typo (np -> no) 6212 693673 add g_dbus_address_escape_value() 6213 693694 gio: Fix annotations on g_[async_]initable_new() and friends 6214 6215Translations: 6216 Dutch 6217 Galician 6218 Polish 6219 Serbian 6220 6221Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7 6222============================================== 6223 6224This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes. 6225 6226* Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back 6227 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase. 6228 6229* Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang 6230 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK. 6231 6232* Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings) 6233 6234* a small docs fix 6235 6236* Bugs fixed: 6237 657045 6238 636683 6239 682818 6240 693105 6241 6242* Translations: 6243 Italian 6244 6245Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6 6246============================================== 6247 6248* GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors 6249 to the mainloop 6250 6251* g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become 6252 ready at a specified monotonic time 6253 6254* The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked 6255 6256* GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify 6257 if $HOME is on NFS 6258 6259* The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with 6260 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable 6261 6262* Bugs fixed: 6263 570572 2 make check errors on 6264 592211 No monitoring over NFS mounts 6265 625552 wrong behaviour of GVolume GVolumeMonitor related func... 6266 657729 modernise GMainLoop 6267 658020 GSource for a single GPollFD 6268 678223 g_mutex_free 6269 682560 leak fixes 6270 682819 EINTR-harden all the things 6271 684404 When using g_network_address_address_enumerator_next()... 6272 686853 new GSource fd API 6273 688169 G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED doesn't cover deprecated/gthread.... 6274 688681 build: Make .symbols file canonical on all platforms 6275 690118 Crash when closing last tab of a window using Ctrl-w 6276 691624 glib/gtester.c: missing include 6277 691812 gioinputstream - give task as callback_data not task_data 6278 691866 fails out of source build directory - gnetwork.h not f... 6279 692029 Add new API checking utility 6280 692034 Install an invalidation notifier for GClosure in g_sou... 6281 692058 Broken makefile for gio tests 6282 692079 build failure in gmarkup.c when using gcc 4.8 and buil... 6283 692201 inotify: fix a memleak 6284 692202 gfile: don't report completion twice on g_file_load_co... 6285 692229 Incorrect string formatters in a translation string 6286 692332 GNetworkMonitorNetlink: make the netlink socket cloexec 6287 692360 possibly non-threadsafe code in g_content_type_guess()?

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 6389 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files 6390 602715 [GChecksum] Please add support for SHA512 6391 623187 provide some support for arbitrary setsockopt()s? 6392 629301 .goutputstream files left behind when cancelling I/O 6393 652650 Optimize GDBusMessage serialization 6394 664627 /gapplication/basic test intermittently fails: cmdline re-or... 6395 675516 Win32: Don't start a DBus server when built as static library 6396 679683 replace g_test_trap_fork() 6397 684145 Current Git sources fails to cross-compile for Windows in Li... 6398 686895 file-info: catch thumbnail files in large directory as well 6399 687092 IPv6 <-> IPv4 mismatch when subscribing to multicast (send) 6400 688180 GObject: Minor error in description of floating reference 6401 688319 gthread: add missing AVAILABLE_IN_2_32 annotations 6402 688377 configure: add missing square bracket in AS_IF for memmove 6403 688419 gtask: source_object arguments and return values not annota... 6404 688497 AppInfo: Add sufficient api to port gnome-session from Egg... 6405 688681 build: Make .symbols file canonical on all platforms 6406 688704 Add boxed GType for GThread 6407 688886 Improve the i18n documentation 6408 688931 GMemoryOutputStream: Add new _resizable() constructor usab... 6409 689037 need helper for creating a GFile from a remote commandline... 6410 689377 Fix a compiler warning in GDBus 6411 689538 Source object tag set too late in gsocketlistener 6412 689800 Treat lost+found directory as a hidden file 6413 689847 Add fast repeated typename -> GType resolver 6414 689982 Make GChecksum more fully introspectable 6415 690069 g_unix_open_pipe: Add missing F_SETFD 6416 690083 gfileenumerator: Add a g_file_enumerator_get_child method 6417 690163 Add a pre-configured gio/gnetworking.h for Visual C++ builds 6418 690346 Remove an unneeded escaping in NAMESER_COMPAT_INCLUDE 6419 690348 Fix g_type_add_class_private() name in g_warning 6420 6421* Translation updates: 6422 Assamese 6423 Galician 6424 Hebrew 6425 Hindi 6426 Kannada 6427 Odia 6428 Polish 6429 Spanish 6430 6431 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 6467 6468Translations: 6469 6470 Galician 6471 Gujarati 6472 Lithuanian 6473 Serbian 6474 Slovak 6475 Slovenian 6476 6477Bugs closed: 6478 6479 649302 Add support for GNU/FreeBSD 6480 668842 [GSocket] Add caching for the sender address in g_socket_receive_from() 6481 672924 Add annotations for g_filename_from_uri() 6482 673229 glib: Use Returns:, not @returns 6483 677062 (partial) GVariant: Make g_variant_new_from_bytes() public, add more GBytes API 6484 686185 g_date_time_format Transcoding Fails on OSX 6485 686191 g_mutex_get_impl() should use g_atomic_pointer_get() 6486 686797 Box GPollFD to make it introspectable 6487 686810 [regression] Infinite wait in g_task_run_in_thread_sync() 6488 686822 possible dlopen()/dlclose() issue with automatic g_type_init() 6489 686839 mkinstalldirs: Move to glib-mkinstalldirs 6490 686895 file-info: catch thumbnail files in large directory as well 6491 686898 g_unix_signal_source_new: Allow SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 6492 686920 gdbus: Allow GDBusObjectManagerClient to work on peer connections 6493 686921 Remove some of the repetition from gio/tests/Makefile.am 6494 687075 g_spawn_sync diagnostic incorrectly complains about SIGCHLD 6495 687089 g_dbus_connection_export_menu_model(): fix a crash 6496 687098 Repeated g_timeout_add* use can lead to guint overflow 6497 687385 Add some stricter CFLAGS, fix up the code 6498 687441 ABI break in master: g_menu_attribute_hash_iter_get_type, g_menu_link_hash_iter_get_type removed 6499 687516 typo in string: KB should be kB 6500 687540 In Trash folder, Nautilus misinterprets "\n" in filename as a line break 6501 687541 GSignalQuery param_types field needs array annotation 6502 687600 gfileutils.c performs invalid cast of (varargs) open to non-vararg type 6503 687698 plural forms needed 6504 687700 ending spaces 6505 687742 Add support for internal linkage to glib-compile-resources 6506 687801 tests/buffered-input-stream: Fix size of parameter passed 6507 688109 win32 warning/error fixes 6508 688255 'make check' regressed in 138f4c1 because GMarkup error messages changed 6509 688338 [PATCH] gobject/gtype.c: Fix spelling of »exceed« 6510 688370 GDBusError documentation improvement for client-side 6511 688378 g_socket_join_multicast_group not working 6512 688518 gio-kqueue: use O_EVTONLY on MacOS 6513 6514 6515 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: 6521 6522 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now 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 6533 * GLib version macros updated 6534 6535 * Update to Unicode 6.2 6536 6537 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in

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 7149 7150* Bugs fixed:

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*

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 7500 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no 7501 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock 7502 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory 7503 7504* Translations updated: 7505 French 7506 Spanish 7507 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 7537* Bugs fixed: 7538 600161 Do not use static GTypeInfo and GInterfaceInfo 7539 640077 GFileMonitor: Always send CHANGES_DONE_HINT after a move... 7540 641720 Misleading definition for local_command_line() in GApplic... 7541 648516 Little comment error and 2 useless lines of code 7542 651997 Dummy backend for gapplication 7543 652560 Test for g_ascii_strtod is failing 7544 662208 failure to initialize a GInitable should be considered... 7545 662718 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton should be able to export on multi... 7546 663291 GBytes: Immutable, refcounted sequence of bytes 7547 664406 Need context for a proper translation 7548 664455 Build fixes for GLib GIT master (2.31.x) 7549 664558 GDBusWorker.frozen has a value > 1 in a gboolean 7550 664559 sys/wait.h not available on windows 7551 664617 gdbus segfault error 4 in libgio-2.0.so.0.3102.0 7552 664635 GMemory{Out,In}putStream _async functions break sub-class... 7553 664809 Add command line option to gtester to allow skipping tests 7554 665067 cryptic assertion failure if nonsensical flag combinations... 7555 665184 Check ref. count before reffing/unreffing 7556 665298 Add 'Requires.private: libpcre' to glib-2.0.pc 7557 665391 update documentation around mainloops 7558 665607 ./configure is there for fiddling with cross-compile enviro... 7559 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes... 7560 665685 Add a #define for the max length of a Unicode decomposition 7561 665733 GDBusConnection holds lock while calling destroynotify 7562 7563* Translation updates: 7564 Norwegian bokmål 7565 Spanish 7566 7567 7568Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.0 to 2.31.2 7569============================================== 7570 7571* Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows 7572 7573* glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/ 7574 7575* EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource 7576 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish 7577 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change. 7578 7579* Improve the performance of GObject property notifies. 7580 7581* GDBus: 7582 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it 7583 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection 7584 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality 7585 7586* Deprecations: 7587 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED 7588 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore 7589 7590* docs 7591 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib 7592 7593* GIO: 7594 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching 7595 - various GIO file and stream fixes 7596 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling 7597 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. 7714 320888 optimization for g_main_context_wakeup 7715 398418 GChildWatch race condition? 7716 527214 g_timer_elapsed() returns random values 7717 580505 add a way to set/get name for a thread 7718 583511 race condition means g_main_loop_quit() does not work 7719 590808 GKeyFile should have a refcount and a boxed type in GObject 7720 592715 Document that g_str_hash() and g_int_hash() are not NULL safe 7721 631413 Add macros for GSourceFunc return values 7722 632049 not immediately clear what g_variant_get_fixed_array expects 7723 640212 "Error stating file" is not a friendly message 7724 640293 Use xlocale

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.

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 9029 624739 Please fix POTFILES.in 9030 625472 Valgrind claims uninitialized bytes used 9031 625500 g_date_set_time_val documentation doesn't mention local time 9032 625628 GDBusProxy: wrong property name sorting 9033 625753 Incorrect flags used in g_dbus_connection_call_sync() 9034 625827 Expand documentation about error quark naming 9035 625988 builddir != srcdir issues 9036 626107 glibconfig.h is being disted 9037 9038Updated translations: 9039 French 9040 Galician 9041 Hebrew 9042 Norwegian bokmål 9043 Spanish 9044 9045 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.

For both reasons, a new dconf release is | 9054| required (and will be along soon). | 9055+-------------------------------------------------------------------+ 9056 9057Build: 9058 - cleanup automake setup 9059 - rename configure.in to configure.ac 9060 - various docs fixups 9061 - move glibconfig.h to glib/ 9062 - disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace') 9063 9064GSettings: 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 9070 9071GDBus: 9072 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix 9073 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called 9074 - proper support for file descriptor passing 9075 - new flags parameter for sending messages 9076 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals 9077 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless 9078 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given 9079 - constness fixes for introspection structures 9080 - clean ups to subtree registration API 9081 9082Other: 9083 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions 9084 - GIO: don't blindly assume that SOCK_CLOEXEC is supported 9085 - make GObject property notify freezes threadsafe 9086 - GIO: clean up credentials passing 9087 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE 9088 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection 9089 9090Bugs closed: 9091 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting 9092 617483 Credentials passing 9093 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property 9094 623293 vendor override files 9095 623810 Message serialization bug 9096 623815 Don't check sender for GDBusProxy objects where name is not set 9097 624473 GDBusSubtreeIntrospectFunc return type 9098 624483 GDBusSubtreeEnumerateFunc clarification 9099 624484 GDBusSubtreeDispatchFunc clarification 9100 624754 gdbusaddress.c missing sys/wait.h 9101 624968 div by zero in g_malloc_n family 9102 624991 GSettings mapping for G_TYPE_STRV 9103 625383 Add missing GI annotations 9104 9105Updated Translations: 9106 Armenian 9107 Galician 9108 German 9109 Hebrew 9110 Kazakh 9111 Romanian 9112 Simplified Chinese 9113 Spanish 9114 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).

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. 9642 9643* Translation updates: 9644 Bengali 9645 Catalan 9646 Danish 9647 Gujarati 9648 Marathi 9649 Thai 9650 Traditional Chinese 9651 9652 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.

Support for network IO has been added, including a low-level 10272 socket API and a high-level API for network connections and 10273 services. 10274 - Support for read-write access with GIOStream and its subclasses. 10275 -

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. 10320 10321* Glib now provides hash and comparison functions for int64 and double 10322 types, suitable for use with GHashTable. 10323 10324* GArray, GPtrArray and GByteArray can be ref counted now, and have 10325 boxed types. 10326 10327* Bugs fixed: 10328 572844 Helper for GCancellable::cancelled connect/disconnect 10329 578363 goption docs should be improved 10330 548466 async/cancellable DNS resolver 10331 579830 param spec strings should use P_() 10332 579862 requesting xattr::foo ends up calling getxattr(..., user... 10333 580453 Hash and equal functions for gint64 and gdouble 10334 580450 Reference counting and boxed types for arrays 10335 580194 gresolver doesn't build on Solaris 10336 580301 network: a few issues on old darwin 10337 580299 network: include sys/types.h before sys/socket.h to insur... 10338 572508 gmarkup speedup 10339 580546 g_strtoull() referenced in documentation... 10340 580656 g_key_file_set_string_list erroneously asserts list != NULL 10341 579272 leaks in g_simple_async_result_set_op_res_gpointer 10342 10343 10344* Updated translations: 10345 Catalan (ca) 10346 Pashto (ps) 10347 Spanish (es) 10348 10349 10350Overview of Changes from GLib 2.20.0 to GLib 2.20.1 10351=================================================== 10352 10353* Bug fixes: 10354 575555 Use fsync() when replacing files to avoid data loss on 10355 575708 runaway inotify madness 10356 575270 GVolumeMonitor::mount-pre-unmount not being emitted 10357 577128 glib make check Failed to execute child process... 10358 573673 Always show "backup" directories 10359 578369 g_time_val_from_iso8601() parses timezones incorrectly 10360 578002 Fix a small typo in GFile docs 10361 578017 G_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED docs 10362 10363* Updated translations: 10364 Arabic 10365 Assamese 10366 Basque 10367 Bularian 10368 Brazilian Portuguese 10369 British English 10370 Catalan 10371 Danish 10372 French 10373 Galician 10374 German 10375 Greek 10376 Hungarian 10377 Italian 10378 Japanese 10379 Kannada 10380 Lithuanian 10381 Malayalam 10382 Norwegian bokmål 10383 Oriya 10384 Polish 10385 Punjabi 10386 Russian 10387 Simplified Chinese 10388 Slovenian 10389 Spanish 10390 Swedish 10391 Tamil 10392 10393 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.

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 12176* Documentation improvements [Matthias, Kang Jeong-Hee, 12177 Tor Lillqvist, Stefan Kost] 12178 12179* Translation updates (el,eu,ka,uk) 12180 12181Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.5 to GLib 2.9.6 12182================================================= 12183 12184* Bugs fixed: 12185 329124 distclean removes README [Kjartan Maraas, Tim Janik] 12186 317679 GRelation field type not documented [Behdad Esfahbod] 12187 329123 Typo in GTime docs [Kjartan Maraas] 12188 12189* Documentation improvements [Sven Herzberg, David 12190 Schleef, Kjartan Maraas, Behdad Esfahbod] 12191 12192* Translation updates (cs,cy,it,ko,pt,sq,sr,sr@Latn,ru 12193 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.

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.
