198 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
199 ==================================
200  
201 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
202 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
203 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
204 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
205  
206 This release corrects only this problem.
207  
208 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
209 ==================================
210  
211 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
212 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
213 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
214  
215 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.
216  
217 * other fixes

561 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
562 ==================================
563  
564 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
565 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
566 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
567 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
568 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
569 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
570  
571 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
572 have seen major improvements.
573  
574 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
575 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
576 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
577 files appear.
578  
579 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
580  
581 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
582  
583 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
584  
585 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
586 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
587 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
588 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
589 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
590 you use the --strict option.
591  
592 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
593 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
594 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
595  
596 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
597  
598 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
599 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
600 default handlers for a generic supertype.
601  
602 * Bug fixes:
603 627285 inotify file monitor hardwired delay

645 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
646 ===================================
647  
648 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
649 before the release of 2.44.0.
650  
651 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
652  
653 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
654 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
655 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
656 default in the next cycle.
657  
658 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
659  
660 * new GTask:completed property
661  
662 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
663 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()
664  
665 Bugs fixed:
666 614684 Make various parts of GObject const-correct

703 ===================================
704  
705 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
706 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
707 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
708  
709 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
710 effective busy state.

759 ==================================
760  
761 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,

763 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
764  
765 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
766 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.

1245 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
1246 =====================================================
1247  
1248 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
1249 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
1250 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
1251 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
1252 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1253 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
1254

1508 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
1509 ====================================================
1510  
1511 * GSettings fixes/improvements
1512  
1513 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
1514  
1515 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
1516 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
1517 and description
1518  
1519 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
1520 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
1521 source.
1522  
1523 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
1524  
1525 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
1526  
1527 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
1528 by the sysadmin)
1529  
1530 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
1531 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
1532  
1533 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
1534  
1535 * Applications/Actions
1536  
1537 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
1538 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
1539 after construction)
1540  
1541 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
1542 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
1543  
1544 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
1545 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
1546 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
1547 not itself at fault for the errant call)
1548  
1549 * Appinfo
1550  
1551 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
1552 accesses that are performed in common situations
1553  
1554 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
1555 are installed/removed
1556  
1557 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
1558 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
1559  
1560 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
1561 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
1562 as 'my:tag')
1563  
1564 * GDBus
1565  
1566 - ignore qualified tags, as above
1567  
1568 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
1569 that test programs don't pick them up
1570  
1571 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
1572  
1573 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
1574 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
1575 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
1576 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
1577  
1578 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
1579 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
1580  
1581 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
1582 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
1583 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
1584  
1585 * GIO:
1586  
1587 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
1588  
1589 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
1590  
1591 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
1592  
1593 Translations updated:

1616 710691 glib-networking: locking during implicit handshake
1617 710738 GRand has lame fallback for Windows
1618 710859 Typo in gio docs
1619 710885 Two fixes for GApplication
1620 710962 error: 'F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC' undeclared (first use in this function)
1621 710964 Add g_hash_table_get_key_array()

1631 711557 Add g_desktop_app_info_search()
1632 711600 trivial portability fix

1642  
1643 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
1644 ====================================================
1645  
1646 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
1647  
1648 * GNotification
1649  
1650 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
1651  
1652 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
1653 them can restart the application with an action (via
1654 DBusActivatable)
1655  
1656 * GSubprocess
1657  
1658 - new API for launching subprocesses
1659  
1660 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
1661  
1662 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
1663  
1664 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
1665 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
1666  
1667 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
1668  
1669 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
1670  
1671 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
1672 actions and listing apps and actions
1673  
1674 - bash tab completion is supported
1675  
1676 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
1677  
1678 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
1679 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
1680  
1681 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
1682 DBusActivatable=true
1683  
1684 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
1685 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
1686 desktop file index)
1687  
1688 * File monitors
1689  
1690 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
1691  
1692 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
1693 class and inotify backend
1694  
1695 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
1696 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
1697  
1698 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
1699 GLib worker thread
1700  
1701 * GSettings
1702  
1703 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
1704 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
1705 when there are invalid schemas installed
1706  
1707 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
1708  
1709 * GIO
1710  
1711 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
1712 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
1713  
1714 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
1715 construction time
1716  
1717 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
1718 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
1719 semantics of the interface in each case
1720  
1721 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
1722 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
1723  
1724 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
1725  
1726 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
1727 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
1728 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
1729 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
1730  
1731 * GKeyFile
1732  
1733 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
1734 value as an integer
1735  
1736 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
1737  
1738 * Portability improvements
1739  
1740 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
1741  
1742 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
1743 actually support it (like Hurd)
1744  
1745 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
1746  
1747 * Other small API changes/additions
1748  
1749 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
1750 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
1751 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
1752  
1753 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
1754  
1755 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
1756 G_LOG_ERROR messages
1757  
1758 * GMainContext/GSource
1759  
1760 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
1761  
1762 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
1763 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
1764 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
1765 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
1766 broken and should probably be fixed.
1767  
1768 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
1769 require use of a linked list
1770  
1771 * GObject
1772  
1773 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
1774 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
1775 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
1776  
1777 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
1778  
1779 * Bug fixes
1780  
1781 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
1782 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
1783 gphoto, archive, at least).
1784  
1785 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
1786  
1787 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
1788 client
1789  
1790 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
1791 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
1792 (which shared exactly the same bug)
1793  
1794 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
1795  
1796 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
1797  
1798 * Many documentation improvements
1799  
1800 Bugs fixed:
1801 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing

1856 What's new in Glib 2.38
1857 ========================
1858  
1859 * Application support
1860  
1861 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
1862 desktop entry specification
1863  
1864 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
1865 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
1866 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
1867  
1868 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
1869 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
1870 to launch other applications
1871  
1872 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
1873 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
1874  
1875 * GObject
1876  
1877 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
1878 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
1879 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
1880 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
1881 any problems that this may have caused.
1882  
1883 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
1884 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
1885 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
1886 (allowing memory savings)
1887  
1888 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
1889 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
1890 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
1891  
1892 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
1893 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
1894 has returned.
1895  
1896 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
1897 without destroying one of the objects involved
1898  
1899 * Icons
1900  
1901 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
1902 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
1903 with a finite number of cases
1904  
1905 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
1906 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
1907  
1908 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
1909 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
1910 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
1911 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
1912 have GdkPixbuf
1913  
1914 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
1915  
1916 * Actions and menus
1917  
1918 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
1919 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
1920 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
1921  
1922 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
1923  
1924 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
1925 and an API to check them
1926  
1927 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
1928 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
1929  
1930 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
1931 with most functions, but this is not recommended
1932  
1933 * Other GIO
1934  
1935 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
1936 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
1937 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
1938 interface
1939  
1940 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for

1953 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
1954 g_variant_new_printf()
1955  
1956 * Testing
1957  
1958 - we can now generate TAP output

2092  
2093 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2094 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the

2280  
2281 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2282 and a parser API for them is now provided
2283  
2284 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2285 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for

2352 the destination file

2379 ==============================================
2380  
2381 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
2382 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
2383 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
2384 reasons). This change only affects Windows.
2385  
2386 * Bugs fixed:

2438 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
2439 ==============================================
2440  
2441 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
2442 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
2443 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
2444 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
2445 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
2446 any problems.
2447  
2448 Other changes:
2449 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
2450 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
2451 * annotations fixes
2452 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
2453 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
2454 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
2455 * documentation fixes

2625 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
2626 ==============================================
2627  
2628 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
2629 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
2630 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
2631 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
2632 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
2633  
2634 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
2635 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
2636 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
2637 particular, are incompatible.
2638  
2639 * Bugs fixed in this release:
2640 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants
2641 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files

2684 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
2685 ==============================================
2686  
2687 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
2688 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
2689 causing regressions in applications.
2690  
2691 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
2692 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
2693 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
2694 is tracking this.
2695  
2696 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
2697 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
2698 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
2699  
2700 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
2701  
2702 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
2703  
2704 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
2705  
2706 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
2707  
2708 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
2709  
2710 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
2711  
2712 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
2713  
2714 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
2715  
2716 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
2717  
2718 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

2775 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
2776

3591 - A new facility to allow linking data files into binaries
3592 and make them available as resources

3612 ==============================================
3613  
3614 * GObject:
3615 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
3616 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
3617 to an overridden property
3618 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
3619 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
3620  
3621 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
3622 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
3623  
3624 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status
3625  
3626 * GSettings: a native OS X backend has been added, under the

3666 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
3667 ==============================================
3668  
3669 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
3670 moved to GtkApplication.
3671  
3672 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
3673 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
3674 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
3675 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
3676  
3677 * lots of documentation improvements
3678  
3679 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
3680  
3681 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
3682 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
3683  
3684 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
3685  
3686 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
3687  
3688 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
3689  
3690 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
3691 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
3692  
3693 * Bugs fixed:
3694 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
3695 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
3696 664699 glib: documentation fixes
3697 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
3698 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
3699 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
3700 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
3701 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
3702 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
3703 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock

3706 * Translations updated:

3710 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
3711 ==============================================
3712  
3713 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
3714 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
3715 There have also been many related improvements to action group
3716 functionality.
3717  
3718 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
3719 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
3720 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
3721 types of menubars.
3722  
3723 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
3724 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
3725 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
3726 through an idle on the context.
3727  
3728 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
3729 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
3730 fixes here and there.
3731  
3732 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
3733 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
3734 API available outside GLib
3735  
3736 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple
3737 connections
3738  
3739 * Bugs fixed:

3772  
3773 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
3774  
3775 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
3776  
3777 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
3778 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
3779 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
3780  
3781 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
3782  
3783 * GDBus:
3784 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
3785 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
3786 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
3787  
3788 * Deprecations:
3789 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
3790 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
3791  
3792 * docs
3793 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
3794  
3795 * GIO:
3796 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
3797 - various GIO file and stream fixes
3798 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
3799  
3800 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
3801 =================================================
3802  
3803 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
3804 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
3805  
3806 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
3807 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
3808 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
3809 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
3810 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
3811 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
3812 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
3813 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
3814 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
3815 required (and has been deprecated)
3816 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
3817 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
3818 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
3819 without explicit initialisation.
3820 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
3821 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
3822 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
3823 deprecated.
3824 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
3825 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
3826 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
3827 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
3828 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
3829 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
3830 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
3831 have been fixed
3832 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
3833 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
3834 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
3835 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
3836 - GThread is now a refcounted type
3837 - other implementation details changed
3838  
3839 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
3840 deprecated/ directory.
3841  
3842 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
3843 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
3844 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
3845  
3846 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
3847 platform over a year ago).
3848  
3849 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
3850 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
3851  
3852 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
3853 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
3854  
3855 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
3856 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
3857 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
3858 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
3859  
3860 * GApplication
3861 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
3862 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
3863 quit logic)
3864  
3865 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
3866  
3867 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
3868 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
3869  
3870 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
3871 in a multi-threaded program
3872  
3873 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
3874 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
3875  
3876 * pkg-config files:
3877 - drop -uninstalled variants
3878 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
3879  
3880 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
3881 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
3882 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
3883  
3884 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
3885  
3886 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
3887 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
3888  
3889 * GDBus:
3890 - many code generation updates and improvements
3891 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
3892  
3893 * GVariant:
3894 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
3895 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
3896  
3897 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
3898  
3899 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
3900 instead of mtab
3901  
3902 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from

4340 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
4341 ==============================================
4342  
4343 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
4344 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
4345 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
4346 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
4347 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
4348 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
4349  
4350 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
4351 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
4352  
4353 * Access to quarks is now lockless
4354  
4355 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

4417 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
4418 ==============================================
4419  
4420 * GDBus:
4421 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
4422 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
4423 an 'object manager' pattern:
4424 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
4425 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
4426 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
4427 And server-side implementations:
4428 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
4429 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
4430 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
4431 descriptions in XML
4432  
4433 * GTest:
4434 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
4435 tests as failed
4436  
4437 * GDesktopAppInfo
4438 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
4439 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
4440 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
4441 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
4442  
4443 * GHashTable:
4444 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
4445 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
4446 to store sets.
4447  
4448 * Unix-specific APIs:
4449 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
4450 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
4451 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
4452 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
4453 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
4454 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
4455  
4456 * Bugs fixed:
4457 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing
4458 632631 GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_new_string: assertion `g_utf8_validate (string, -1, NULL)' failed

4462 643134 g_dbus_message_copy
4463 644941 glib-unix: New Unix-specific API
4464 646013 g_hash_table_remove_all_nodes optimization
4465 646309 glib cannot be cross-compilled for mingw32
4466 646435 GTimeZone doesn't seem to be thread-safe
4467 646957 GIO chained calls don't work with a thread default context
4468 647594 README link to mailing list is broken
4469 647602 Cannot connect to remote message bus via TCP
4470 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
4471 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
4472 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
4473 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION
4474 648423 Support G_DEBUG=trap-warnings
4475 648425 GDesktopAppInfo: Add "filename" property for bindings

4485 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
4486 ==============================================
4487  
4488 * GApplication
4489 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
4490 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
4491 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
4492  
4493 * GDBus
4494 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
4495 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
4496 situations has been improved
4497  
4498 * GVariant
4499 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
4500 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
4501  
4502 * GDateTime:
4503 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
4504 match strcmp() semantics
4505 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
4506 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
4507 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
4508  
4509 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
4510 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
4511  
4512 * GSettings:
4513 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
4514  
4515 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
4516  
4517 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
4518 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
4519 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.
4520  
4521 * Bugs fixed:

4796 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
4797 ==============================================
4798  
4799 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
4800 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
4801 64-bit integer.
4802 Affected functions:
4803 g_source_get_time
4804 g_periodic_unblock
4805 g_get_monotonic_time
4806 g_get_real_time
4807 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
4808 discouraged.
4809  
4810 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
4811  
4812 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
4813 in async GIO APIs:
4814 g_simple_async_result_take_error
4815 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
4816 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
4817  
4818 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
4819 g_variant_lookup
4820  
4821 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
4822 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
4823 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
4824  
4825 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
4826 g_get_user_runtime_dir
4827  
4828 * Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed
4829  
4830 * Bugs fixed:
4831 620263 Add g_clear_object, g_clear_pointer, g_clear_boxed
4832 633075 update Project Files and sources for MSVC 2008/C89

4845 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
4846 ==============================================
4847  
4848 * GApplication
4849 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
4850 - Support environment passing
4851  
4852 * GSettings
4853 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
4854 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
4855  
4856 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
4857 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
4858 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
4859 been deprecated
4860  
4861 * Bugs fixed:
4862 158725 free linked list with data
4863 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
4864 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError
4865 629274 GNetworkService does not do fallback when there is no SRV record
4866 631264 gsettings-tool choice/range support
4867 631482 g_date_time_from_instant: 1000000000000000000
4868 632169 docs for manual use of gsettings-data-convert
4869 632571 Add equivalent to gconftool-2's -R option
4870 633115 GSettings m4 doesn't fail the build for broken schemas
4871 633206 Default g_application_local_command_line() doesn't set exit_status...
4872 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
4873 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"

4881 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
4882 ==============================================
4883  
4884 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
4885 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
4886  
4887 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
4888 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
4889  
4890 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
4891  
4892 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
4893 New API:
4894 g_settings_get_range
4895 g_settings_range_check
4896 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
4897  
4898 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
4899 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
4900  
4901 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
4902 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
4903 New API:
4904 g_main_context_invoke
4905 g_main_context_invoke_full
4906  
4907 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
4908 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
4909 looking for default applications.
4910  
4911 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
4912 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
4913 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
4914 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
4915  
4916 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
4917 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
4918 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
4919  
4920 Bug fixes:
4921 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe
4922 618737 "dispatch to context" functionality
4923 620710 g_get_user_data_dir() uses CSIDL_PERSONAL and not CSIDL_APPDATA
4924 623400 acquire context before dispatching
4925 627126 gsettings schema files don't get installed on FreeBSD
4926 627171 g_socket_new_from_fd() doesn't set the right protocol
4927 628876 Wrong error description

4929 629274 GNetworkService doesn't fallback when there is no SRV record
4930 629289 g_error() used wrong, produces core dump
4931 629687 leaks class refcount in gsocketcontrolmessage

4984 GObject:
4985 - make ordering for overridden interface properties consistent

5010 - check for size == 0 in g_variant_get_bytestring to avoid a crash
5011 when attempting to get_bytestring() from an empty array
5012 - improve gobject-introspection annotations
5013  
5014 GSettings:
5015 - add GSettings Windows registry backend

5172 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.12 to GLib 2.25.13
5173 =====================================================
5174  
5175 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5176 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5177 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5178  
5179 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5180 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5181 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5182 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5183 serious problems.
5184  
5185 There have been many other improvements, however:
5186  
5187 Build and testing:
5188 - vastly improved test coverage
5189 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5190 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5191 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
5192  
5193 GVariant:
5194 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
5195  
5196 GDBus:
5197 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
5198 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
5199 - improve debug output, add some extra options
5200 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
5201 explaining why
5202 - sort property names correctly
5203 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
5204 anyway
5205 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
5206  
5207 GSettings:
5208 - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
5209 without mapping functions
5210 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
5211  
5212 Binding:
5213 - improve closure support for bindings
5214 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
5215  
5216 Other:
5217 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility
5218  
5219 Bugs closed:

5239 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
5240 =====================================================
5241  
5242 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5243 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5244 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5245 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5246 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5247 | required (and will be along soon). |
5248 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5249

5251 - cleanup automake setup
5252 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
5253 - various docs fixups

5255 - disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace')
5256  
5257 GSettings:
5258 - add support for vendor override files (to change the default values
5259 in a schema)
5260 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
5261 - add g_settings_reset()
5262 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
5263  
5264 GDBus:
5265 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
5266 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
5267 - proper support for file descriptor passing
5268 - new flags parameter for sending messages
5269 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
5270 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
5271 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
5272 - constness fixes for introspection structures
5273 - clean ups to subtree registration API
5274  
5275 Other:
5276 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions
5277 - GIO: don't blindly assume that SOCK_CLOEXEC is supported
5278 - make GObject property notify freezes threadsafe
5279 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
5280 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
5281 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
5282

5308 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
5309 =====================================================
5310  
5311 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5312 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
5313 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
5314 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
5315 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5316  
5317 Build:
5318 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
5319 -Bsymbolic-functions
5320 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
5321 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
5322 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
5323 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
5324 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5325  
5326 GDBus:
5327 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
5328 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
5329 nobody was doing that.
5330 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
5331 outgoing messages
5332 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
5333 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
5334 themselves
5335 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
5336 have a serial number
5337 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
5338 variable
5339 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
5340 flags
5341 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
5342 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
5343 has finished running on GDBus services.
5344 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
5345 this due to the obvious race)
5346 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
5347 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
5348  
5349 GVariant:
5350 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
5351 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
5352 arguments and different behaviour
5353 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
5354 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
5355 strings instead of utf8 strings
5356 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
5357 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
5358 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
5359 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
5360 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
5361 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
5362 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
5363 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
5364 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
5365  
5366 GSettings:
5367 - improved documentation
5368 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
5369 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
5370 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
5371 overridden using <override>.
5372 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
5373 - lots of new tests
5374 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
5375 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
5376 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
5377 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
5378 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
5379 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
5380 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
5381 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
5382 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
5383 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
5384 being set due to a premature free
5385 - command line tool: bash completion support
5386 - chain up in _finalize
5387 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
5388 post-processing
5389 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
5390 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
5391 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
5392 warn)
5393 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
5394 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
5395 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
5396 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
5397 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
5398 the keyfile
5399  
5400 Other:
5401 - always intern GBinding prop names
5402 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
5403 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
5404 - GNode docs improvements
5405 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
5406 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
5407 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
5408 SystemTap)
5409  
5410 Tests:
5411 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
5412 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
5413 - improved tests for GKeyfile
5414 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
5415 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
5416 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
5417 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
5418 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
5419

5535 ===================================================
5536  
5537 +----------------------------------------------------------------+
5538 | WARNING: There have been API changes in GDBus, GSettings and |
5539 | GApplication. Users of these APIs will need to be adapted. In |
5540 | particular, a new release of GTK+ is required to go along with |
5541 | this one. |
5542 +----------------------------------------------------------------+
5543  
5544 * GDBus
5545 - Use Gio's default async implementation

5571 of the boxed type, so this should not cause any applications
5572 to break.
5573  
5574 * Test framework
5575 - Add package and version to the test report XML
5576 - Use optparse to parse gtester-report commandline

5626  
5627 * GPermission: an abstract interface for representing permissions,
5628 with a minimal implementation named GSimplePermission
5629

5831 replace GConf. DConf will provide a backend implementation for it.
5832 GConf will also provide a backend implementation to ease the
5833 transition. We provide utilities to assist with schema conversion
5834 and data migration, as well as a porting guide.

6110 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.22.x to GLib 2.23.0
6111 ===================================================
6112  
6113 * GIO:
6114 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6115 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6116 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6117 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6118 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6119 while loading or saving it.
6120 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6121 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6122 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6123  
6124 * GObject:
6125 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6126 interfaces to dynamic types.
6127  
6128 * GModule:
6129 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
6130 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
6131 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading
6132 support.
6133

6849 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
6850 ===================================================
6851  
6852 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
6853 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
6854 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
6855 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
6856 also uses less memory overall.
6857  
6858 * Make g_poll available as public api
6859  
6860 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert

7660 success, instead of void
7661 - Various performance improvements

8433 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.0 to GLib 2.9.1
8434 =================================================
8435  
8436 * Memory management
8437 - The slice allocator is implemented [Tim Janik]
8438 - g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to
8439 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
8440 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
8441  
8442 * Data structures
8443 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
8444  
8445 * Thread support
8446 - Support for Solaris threads has been removed
8447 [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
8448 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
8449 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
8450 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
8451 variants [Martyn Russell]
8452  
8453 * GObject:
8454 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
8455 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
8456  
8457 * Win32 changes:
8458 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
8459  
8460 * Misc new API:
8461 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
8462 constants [Andrew Paprocki]
8463 - G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT macro to instruct the
8464 compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
8465 by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]
8466 - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an
8467 extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]
8468 - g_param_spec_ref_sink() has been added for consistency [Tim]
8469  
8470 * $LOGNAME is respected when determining user data. [Laszlo Peter]
8471  
8472 * Other changes and bug fixes [Tim, Matthias, Behdad,
8473 Christian Persch, Benedikt Meurer, Andrew Paprocki,
8474 Kazuki Iwamoto, Alexis S. L. Carvalho, Stanislav Brabec,

8484 * Unicode support:
8485 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
8486 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
8487 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
8488 [Behdad Esfahbod]
8489 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
8490 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
8491 been optimized
8492 [Behdad]
8493 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
8494 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
8495 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
8496 "stutter stepping".
8497 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
8498  
8499 * Memory management:
8500 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
8501 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
8502 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
8503 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
8504 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
8505 never worked as intended.
8506 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
8507 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
8508 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
8509 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
8510 efficient and scalable implementation.
8511 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
8512  
8513 * Pattern matching:
8514 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
8515 unnecessary recursion.
8516 [Tim, Matthias]
8517  
8518 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
8519 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
8520 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
8521 [Matthias]
8522  
8523 * g_thread_foreach:
8524 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
8525 [Tim, Matthias]
8526  
8527 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
8528 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
8529 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
8530 in favor of these.
8531 [Roger Leigh]
8532  
8533 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
8534 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
8535 since they are in glib.h
8536 [Matthias]

8550 * Make g_value_transform() handle enum values
8551 correctly on ppc64. [Michael Lorenz]
8552 (Third-party code accessing enumeration values
8553 in GValues should also be changed to access
8554 v_long, not v_int, in order to work on bigendian
8555 64bit machines.)
8556 * Make g_flags_get_first_value() handle a value
8557 of 0 meaningfully. [Tim-Philipp Müller]
8558
