should work for all users except distributions where `/run` is not equivalent
to `/var/run`. OS distributors should check that this configured path matches

Overview of changes in GLib 2.73.3, 2022-08-05
2022-08-03 13:47:55 +02:00
==============================================
* Revitalize G_REGEX_OPTIMIZE flag and use it to enable PCRE JIT compiler (work
by Aleksei Rybalkin) (!2817)
* Fix some regressions due to the PCRE2 port (work
by Aleksei Rybalkin, Mamoru TASAKA and Marco Trevisan) (!2814, !2827, #2694,
#2699, #2700)
* Fix a pidfd leak that was introduced in the previous release (work by
Christian Hergert) (#2708)
* Support compilation without a C++ toolchain (work by James Hilliard) (!2822)
* GDBus: Use namespace-friendly protocol for Linux message buses, and optionally
other connections (work by Simon McVittie) (!2832)
* Fix potential races in multi-threaded signal connections handling (work by
Marco Trevisan) (!2823)
* Add back gio-launch-desktop to redirect stdout/stderr of launched
GDesktopAppInfo's to the journal with proper parent (work by Simon McVittie)
(!2818, !2819, #2682)
* Executables that are invoked when installing other software, typically
from packaging system triggers, can now be installed into
architecture-dependent locations. Unix OS distributors who install
GLib for more than one architecture in parallel (multiarch or multilib
installations) should consider building with -Dmultiarch=true, installing
the bin/glib-compile-schemas and bin/gio-querymodules symbolic links in
packages for the primary architecture, and omitting those symlinks from
packages for secondary architectures. (work by Simon McVittie) (!2818)
* Some enumerators introduced in previous releases have been changed, for better
introspection results:
- G_MARKUP_PARSE_FLAGS_NONE renamed to G_MARKUP_DEFAULT_FLAGS
- G_TLS_CERTIFICATE_FLAGS_NONE renamed to G_TLS_CERTIFICATE_NO_FLAGS
- G_APPLICATION_FLAGS_NONE was deprecated, use G_APPLICATION_DEFAULT_FLAGS now
(work by Emmanuele Bassi) (!2835)
* gfileinfo: Implement xattr attribute removal (work by madmurphy) (#1187)
* Add support to --delete option to gio set, to unset a file attribute (work by
codeboybebop) (#2588)
* Improve default value of glib_debug option: G_ENABLE_DEBUG will be defined
only if using `--buildtype=debug` or enabled via `-Dglib_debug`, but it
won't ever be set if an optimized build is requested (specifically if the
optimization level is not `0` or `g`) as it may be the case when using
`--buildtype=debugoptimized` (work by Michael Catanzaro) (!2851)
* Probably the first revision of any GNOME module ever released from Cuba :)
* Bugs fixed:
- #566 support using the PCRE JIT
- #1187 xattr add possibility to remove an extended attribute
- #2509 g_spawn_*() is not thread-safe on Windows when an environment table is
provided
- #2542 Flatten line breaks in filenames printed by gio-tool

- #2692 2.73.2: build failure on musl >= 1.2.0
- #2694 Recent GRegex changes break vala-language-server compilation
- #2699 g_regex_match_all fails on s390x with Fedora glib2-2.73.2-4.fc37
- #2700 g_regex_match fails on multiple archs (including x86_64) with Fedora
- #2703 Fix GCancellable tests for Windows 64bit
glib2-2.73.2-4.fc37
- #2705 GResourceFile crashes on `g_file_set_display_name()`

2022-07-08 16:49:21 +02:00
==============================================

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

Overview of changes in GLib 2.61.2
==================================
* Add various new array functions (#236, #269, #373)
- `g_array_copy()`
- `g_ptr_array_copy()`
- `g_ptr_array_extend()`

- `g_array_binary_search()`
* Add `g_assert_finalize_object()` helper function for writing tests (#488)
* Rework how D-Bus connections are closed/unreffed when `g_test_dbus_down()` is
called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
rather than silently leaking. (#787)
* Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
* Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)

Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
==================================
* This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
* Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
directory for each unit test. (#538)
* Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
* Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
* Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
* Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
`g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
misaligned accesses on architectures which don’
still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
* Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
* Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
* Various fixes to the Meson build.
* Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
(!196)
* `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
* Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
* Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
portal backends. (!317)
* Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
debugging. (!384)
* Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
* Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
fixes. (!411)
* Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
* Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
TLS 1.3. (!478)
* Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
* Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
* Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
* Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
* Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)
* Bugs fixed:

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

Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
==================================
2018-08-23 19:48:14 +02:00
* G_GNUC_MALLOC’
definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
* Many minor documentation fixes.
* Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
* Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
* Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
* Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
* Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
2018-08-05 11:21:26 +02:00
* MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
2018-08-23 19:48:14 +02:00
See #1476.
* Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
* Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.

!230 gbookmarkfile: Fix some more minor leaks when metadata elements are repeated
#1466 Not Able to Build glib 2.57.2 in Mingw-w64 x64 bits

#1446 Follow-up from "Document difference between g_assert() and g_assert_*() wrt G_DISABLE_ASSERT"
!206 grefstring: Avoid an unnecessary NUL assignment

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

Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
==================================
The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
This release corrects only this problem.

Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
==================================
* We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are

this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
* New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.
* other fixes

Overview of changes in GLib 2.46.0
==================================
2021-01-13 14:58:57 +01:00
* GTask no longer imposes a fixed limit on the number of tasks that
can be run_in_thread() simultaneously, since doing this inevitably
results in deadlocks in some use cases. Instead, it now has a base
number of threads that can be used "for free", but will gradually
add more threads to the pool if too much time passes without any
tasks completing.
The exact behavior may continue to change in the future, and it's
possible that some future version of GLib may not do any
rate-limiting at all. As a result, you should no longer assume that
GTask will rate-limit tasks itself (or, by extension, that calls to
certain async gio methods will automatically be rate-limited for
you). If you have a very large number of tasks to run, and don't
want them to all run at once, you should rate-limit them yourself.

Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
2015-04-07 22:20:00 +02:00
==================================
* The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
2015-04-30 18:46:20 +02:00
* The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
have seen major improvements.
The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
files appear.
The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
* The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
you use the --strict option.
* The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
* GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
* The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
default handlers for a generic supertype.
* Bug fixes:

Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
===================================
GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
before the release of 2.44.0.
* GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
* many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
default in the next cycle.
* new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
* new GTask:completed property
* use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()
Bugs fixed:
614684 Make various parts of GObject const-correct
730352 Use inet_pton(), if_nametoindex() and if_indextoname() for newer versions of Windows
733876 Proxy protocol 'http' is not supported.
741442 threads: use FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE and FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE if possible
742599 Clean up GUnixMountMonitor
743636 gtask: Add a GTask:completed property

Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
===================================
We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
scope (working only on GCC and clang).
GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
effective busy state.
There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.
Bugs fixed:
661554 GIO's use of GError is wrong
744263 Fix format specifier for __LINE__ in G_OBJECT_WARN_INVALID_PSPEC

Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.4
==================================
* GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
* g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.
* GListModel is a new interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.
* GListStore is a GSequence-based implementation of GListModel.
* Support thread names on OS X
* g_simple_action_set_state_hint: New function to set the state hint
of GSimpleActions

Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
=====================================================
This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
2021-01-13 14:58:57 +01:00
* g_test_run() no longer runs tests in exactly the order they are
registered; instead, it groups them according to test suites (ie,
path components) like the documentation always claimed it did. In
some cases, this can result in a sub-optimal ordering of tests,
relative to the old behavior. The fix is to change the test paths to
properly group together the tests that should run together. (eg, if
you want to run test_foo_simple(), test_bar_simple(), and
test_foo_using_bar() in that order, they should have test paths like
"/simple/foo", "/simple/bar", "/complex/foo-using-bar", not
"/foo/simple", "/bar/simple", "/foo/using-bar" (which would result
in test_foo_using_bar() running before test_bar_simple()).
(The behavior actually changed in GLib 2.36, but it was not
documented at the time, since we didn't realize it mattered.)
2014-03-17 22:18:47 +01:00
There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
been fixed.
* Bugs fixed:
710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()

Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
=====================================================
This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
New API: g_str_to_ascii()
* Fixed bugs:
670144 unconditional use of CLOCK_MONOTONIC is broken
673607 invalid assumption in g_cond_wait_until() / g_get_monotonic_time() API
710142 Add more impressive transliteration to GLib

Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
====================================================
* GSettings fixes/improvements
- GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
- new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
and description
- GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
source.
- 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
- deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
- add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
by the sysadmin)
- add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
- ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
* Applications/Actions
- make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
after construction)
- throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
- throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
not itself at fault for the errant call)
* Appinfo
- substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
accesses that are performed in common situations
- add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
are installed/removed
- add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
* GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
"qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
as 'my:tag')
* GDBus
- ignore qualified tags, as above
- GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
that test programs don't pick them up
- add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
* GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
'/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
* Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
* Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
the testcases, but some in glib itself).
* GIO:
- some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
- don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
- Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

2013-10-23 21:09:07 +02:00
Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
====================================================
* prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
* GNotification
- new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
- notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
them can restart the application with an action (via
DBusActivatable)
* GSubprocess
- new API for launching subprocesses
- nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
- a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
- related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
* New gapplication(1) commandline tool
- intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
- can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
actions and listing apps and actions
- bash tab completion is supported
* GDesktopAppInfo changes:
- g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
- don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
DBusActivatable=true
- remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
desktop file index)
* File monitors
- fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
- remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
class and inotify backend
- fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
the main context is not running (or is blocked)
- add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
GLib worker thread
* GSettings
- g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
when there are invalid schemas installed
- don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
* GIO
- GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
- GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
construction time
- for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
"fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
semantics of the interface in each case
- fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
- clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
- improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
* GKeyFile
- fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
value as an integer
- add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
* Portability improvements
- avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
- be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
actually support it (like Hurd)
- only use SA_RESTART if it exists
* Other small API changes/additions
- a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
- g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
- g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
G_LOG_ERROR messages
* GMainContext/GSource
- fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2014-01-06 19:58:41 +01:00
- g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2013-10-23 21:09:07 +02:00
try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
broken and should probably be fixed.
- simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
require use of a linked list
* GObject
- the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
officially completely illegal and will abort the program
* Unicode: update to 6.3.0
* Bug fixes
- g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
gphoto, archive, at least).
- fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
- fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
client
- skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
(which shared exactly the same bug)
- fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
- many other small fixups (see bug list)
* Many documentation improvements

What's new in Glib 2.38
========================
* Application support
- GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
desktop entry specification
- GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
- GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
to launch other applications
- GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
to allow the shell to show that it is busy
* GObject
- the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
(ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
any problems that this may have caused.
- a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
(allowing memory savings)
- new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
private structures and their (now constant) offsets
- installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
has returned.
- it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
without destroying one of the objects involved
* Icons
- the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
with a finite number of cases
- a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
- new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
have GdkPixbuf
- support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
* Actions and menus
- GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
"visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
- new API g_menu_remove_all()
- we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
and an API to check them
- a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
- for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
with most functions, but this is not recommended
* Other GIO
- GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
interface
- GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
particular directory (akin to 'du').
- asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
have been added
* Other new API
- GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
allow for regexp matching on streams
- GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
g_variant_new_printf()
* Testing
- we can now generate TAP output
- new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
- g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
g_test_trap_fork()
* Other
- GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

==============================================
* add support for installed tests:
https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests

Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
==============================================
2021-01-13 14:58:57 +01:00
* It is no longer necessary to call g_type_init(). If you are
loading GLib as a dynamic module, you should be careful to avoid
unloading it, then subsequently loading it again. This never
really worked before, but it is now explicitly undefined behavior.
Note that if g_type_init() was the only explicit use of a GObject
API and you are using linker flags such as --no-add-needed, then
you may have to artificially use some GObject call to keep the
linker from optimizing away -lgobject. We recommend to use
g_type_ensure (G_TYPE_OBJECT) for this purpose.
* This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
* The 'flowinfo' and 'scope_id' fields of GInetSocketAddress
(introduced in GLib 2.32) have been fixed to be in host byte order
rather than network byte order. This is an incompatible change, but
the previous behavior was clearly broken, so it seems unlikely that
anyone was using it.
2013-03-25 22:39:21 +01:00
This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.

source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other

Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
==============================================
This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
any problems.
Other changes:
* A couple of build fixes for Solaris
* Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
* annotations fixes
* new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
* GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
* GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
* documentation fixes
* gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
Bugs fixed:
691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.
692827 configure test fails for arpa_nameser.h
692829 new Btrfs support causes build failure on Solaris

Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
==============================================
2012-12-17 20:39:24 +01:00
* This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
* We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
particular, are incompatible.
* Bugs fixed in this release:
142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants

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

Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.22 to 2.32.0
===============================================
2021-01-13 14:58:57 +01:00
* It is no longer necessary to use g_thread_init() or to link against
libgthread. libglib is now always thread-enabled. Custom thread
system implementations are no longer supported (including errorcheck
mutexes).
* The thread and synchronisation APIs have been updated.
GMutex and GCond can be statically allocated without explicit
initialisation, as can new types GRWLock and GRecMutex. The
GStatic_______ variants of these types have been deprecated. GPrivate
can also be statically allocated and has a nicer API (deprecating
GStaticPrivate). Finally, g_thread_create() has been replaced with a
substantially simplified g_thread_new().
* The g_once_init_enter()/_leave() functions have been replaced with
macros that allow for a pointer to any gsize-sized object, not just a
gsize*. The assertions to ensure that a pointer to a correctly-sized
object is being used will not work with generic pointers (ie: (void*)
and (gpointer) casts) which would have worked with the old version.
* It is now mandatory to include glib.h instead of individual headers.
* The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
* For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public
dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been
private). This means that programs got away with calling
g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their
dependencies.
gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause
such programs to break.
The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency
on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib
versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init().
* g_debug() output is no longer enabled by default. It can be enabled
on a per-domain basis with the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable
like
G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=domain1,domain2
or
G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all

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

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

Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
==============================================
2011-12-12 19:28:24 +01:00
* EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
There have also been many related improvements to action group
functionality.
These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
types of menubars.
* GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
through an idle on the context.
2011-12-09 04:00:24 +01:00
2011-12-08 02:41:33 +01:00
* Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
fixes here and there.
* Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
API available outside GLib
* GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple
connections
* Bugs fixed:

Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
=================================================
This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
* Major changes to threading and synchronisation
- threading is now always enabled in GLib
- support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
- a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
- libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
required (and has been deprecated)
- GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
- new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
without explicit initialisation.
- GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
- GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
deprecated.
- GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
- removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
- use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
(Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
- leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
have been fixed
- simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
and ability to manipulate the stack size.
- GThread is now a refcounted type
- other implementation details changed
* Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
deprecated/ directory.
* New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
* GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
platform over a year ago).
* It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
"ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
* The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
* Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
(valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
* GApplication
- add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
- don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
quit logic)
* Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
* Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
2011-10-19 21:26:25 +02:00
* some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
in a multi-threaded program
2011-10-15 03:43:51 +02:00
* Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
2011-10-19 21:26:25 +02:00
* pkg-config files:
- drop -uninstalled variants
- remove gobject dependency on gthread
* New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
2011-10-15 03:43:51 +02:00
* SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
* Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
2011-10-19 21:26:25 +02:00
* GDBus:
- many code generation updates and improvements
- some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
2011-10-15 03:43:51 +02:00
* GVariant:
- new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
- substantial docs improvements/clarifications
2011-10-19 21:26:25 +02:00
* GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
2011-10-15 03:43:51 +02:00
* mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
instead of mtab
* new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
* use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
* GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
* error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
* many docs updates

Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
================================================
2021-01-13 14:58:57 +01:00
* GObject includes a generic marshaller, g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
To use it, simply specify NULL as the marshaller in g_signal_new().
The generic marshaller is implemented with libffi, and consequently
GObject depends on libffi now.

- avoid getmntinfo
- fix some harmless warnings
* GDateTime improvements:
- generally improved standards compliance (with C99)
- support C99-specified format strings: %g, %G, %V, %c, %C, %w
- consult the locale for the preferred 12-hour time format (%r)
- drop support for non-standard %N and broken %W
- better support for formatting non-POSIX (eg: Arabic) numerals
- locale-related test case fixups, and fix some leaks
* GTlsInteraction: add interaction method invocation guarantees
* gdbus-codegen: post-process all interfaces when parsing >1 file
* make GMainLoop, GMainContext and GSource boxed types
* fix a race condition in the first use of g_get_monotonic_time()
* lots gtk-doc cleanups

Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
==============================================
2011-06-04 14:13:48 +02:00
* Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
2011-05-31 20:53:30 +02:00
has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
2011-06-04 14:13:48 +02:00
* A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
* Access to quarks is now lockless
* GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
* g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
* Introspection improvements:
- Add a boxed type for GVariantBuilder
- Annotation fixes in GDBus, GVariant, g_base64_

Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
==============================================
* GDBus:
- Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
an 'object manager' pattern:
GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
These interfaces have client-side implementations:
GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
And server-side implementations:
GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
- The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
descriptions in XML
* GTest:
- There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
tests as failed
* GDesktopAppInfo
- Now has a binding-friendly filename property
- Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
* GHashTable:
- Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
to store sets.
* Unix-specific APIs:
GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
* Bugs fixed:
631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing
632631 GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_new_string: assertion `g_utf8_validate (string, -1, NULL)' failed
635694 gdbus aborting due to unauthorized socket in DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
637561 Crash when using G_DBUS_SERVER_FLAGS_RUN_IN_THREAD
642935 g_date_time_format() prints wrong value for %z and timezone -0800
643134 g_dbus_message_copy
644941 glib-unix: New Unix-specific API
646013 g_hash_table_remove_all_nodes optimization
646309 glib cannot be cross-compilled for mingw32
646435 GTimeZone doesn't seem to be thread-safe
646957 GIO chained calls don't work with a thread default context
647594 README link to mailing list is broken
647602 Cannot connect to remote message bus via TCP
647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION
648423 Support G_DEBUG=trap-warnings
648425 GDesktopAppInfo: Add "filename" property for bindings

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
==============================================
2011-04-11 18:26:15 +02:00
* GApplication
- The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
- An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
- GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
2011-02-18 05:30:45 +01:00
2011-04-11 18:26:15 +02:00
* GDBus
- Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
- Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
situations has been improved
* GVariant
- The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
- GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
* GDateTime:
- The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
match strcmp() semantics
- In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
called to update the cached information about the local timezone
* GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
* GSettings:
- The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
2011-02-18 05:30:45 +01:00
* Commandline utilities are now fully translated
2011-04-11 18:26:15 +02:00
* Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
==============================================
* The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
64-bit integer.
Affected functions:
g_source_get_time
g_periodic_unblock
g_get_monotonic_time
g_get_real_time
The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
discouraged.
* GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
* There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
in async GIO APIs:
g_simple_async_result_take_error
g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
* There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
g_variant_lookup
* It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
* Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
g_get_user_runtime_dir
* Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed
* Bugs fixed:
620263 Add g_clear_object, g_clear_pointer, g_clear_boxed
633075 update Project Files and sources for MSVC 2008/C89
633381 gsettings Makefile rules should handle empty list...

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
==============================================
* GApplication
- Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
- Support environment passing
* GSettings
- The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
- The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
* GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
been deprecated
* Bugs fixed:

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
==============================================
* GDateTime now has full week number support.
New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
* The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
* GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
* GSettings has more complete support for ranges
New API:
g_settings_get_range
g_settings_range_check
The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
* GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
* The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
New API:
g_main_context_invoke
g_main_context_invoke_full
* The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
looking for default applications.
* On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
* A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
Bug fixes:

GDBus:
- GDBusMessage can now be locked and copied (like in libdbus)
- GDBusConnection filter function API has changed again
- GDBusServer: ::new-connection now declares if the connection was claimed
- add a partial workaround for GObject bug 627724.
- very many memory leaks fixed
GVariant:
- check for size == 0 in g_variant_get_bytestring to avoid a crash
when attempting to get_bytestring() from an empty array

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.12 to GLib 2.25.13
=====================================================
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
serious problems.
There have been many other improvements, however:
Build and testing:
- vastly improved test coverage
- old tests moved to the gtester framework
- gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
- cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
GVariant:
- add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
GDBus:
- perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
- add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
- improve debug output, add some extra options
- if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
explaining why
- sort property names correctly
- don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
anyway
- use effective uid/gid for credential passing
GSettings:
- add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
without mapping functions
- mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
Binding:
- improve closure support for bindings
- copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
Other:
- fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility
Bugs closed:
599590 glib build doesn't look for correct pkg-config
619026 avoid warning in gutils.h when using gcc with -Wconversion
624739 Please fix POTFILES.in

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
=====================================================
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
| messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
| registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
| has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
| required (and will be along soon). |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
Build:
- cleanup automake setup
- rename configure.in to configure.ac
- various docs fixups
- move glibconfig.h to glib/
- disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace')
GSettings:
- add support for vendor override files (to change the default values
in a schema)

- add g_settings_reset()
- support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
GDBus:
- many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
- stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
- proper support for file descriptor passing
- new flags parameter for sending messages
- new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
- always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
- constness fixes for introspection structures
- clean ups to subtree registration API
Other:
- fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions
- GIO: don't blindly assume that SOCK_CLOEXEC is supported
- make GObject property notify freezes threadsafe
- GIO: clean up credentials passing
- GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
2010-07-29 16:52:34 +02:00
- GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
=====================================================
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
| These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
| a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
Build:
- add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
-Bsymbolic-functions
- this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
- honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
- use proper feature test macros for isnan
- use pkg-config to check for zlib
- add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
GDBus:
- hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
nobody was doing that.
- add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
outgoing messages
- change the register_object API to add a reference to the
GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
themselves
- don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
have a serial number
- better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
variable
- switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
flags
- add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
has finished running on GDBus services.
- never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
this due to the obvious race)
- remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
- emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
GVariant:
- the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
- g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
arguments and different behaviour
- g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
strings instead of utf8 strings
- G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
- the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
- additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
- improved gobject-introspection annotation
- fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
- fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
GSettings:
- improved documentation
- updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
- added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
overridden using <override>.
- added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
- lots of new tests
- add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
- add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
enums and flags in the specified .h files.
- warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
(ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
- fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
- command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
being set due to a premature free
- command line tool: bash completion support
- chain up in _finalize
- add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
post-processing
- retry with the translated or schema default value if the
GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
- schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
warn)
- peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
- schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
- schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
- fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
the keyfile
Other:
- always intern GBinding prop names
- base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
- document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
- GNode docs improvements
- improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
- fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
- annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
SystemTap)
Tests:
- Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
- improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
- improved tests for GKeyfile
- new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
- move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
- generally, really an awful lot of new tests
- don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
610784 array test failing
613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
622124 implement flags
622127 GSettings extended key validation
622128 retry with default value for failed mapping
622294 More annotations for GVariant
622565 glib-compile-schemas fails when no schemas
622600 Fix missing prototype warning
622813 gsettings mapping & enum buglet
623142 Ensure ::new-connection runs before processing D-Bus messages
623143 Never require non-closed connections
623319 use g_parse_debug_string for dbus debug flags
623401 process enums first
623402 schema compiler reports wrong line numbers
623407 g_keyfile_settings_backend_new crashes with the key "/"
623473 zlib should be checked with pkg-config
623537 GDBusProxy has weird checking on NameOwnerChanged
623538 GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed emission for corner cases
623692 directory with file at multiple MLS levels may display empty
623720 gschema.dtd does not contain enum definitions

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.8 to GLib 2.25.9
===================================================
2010-06-17 22:13:29 +02:00
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| WARNING: There have been API changes in GDBus, GSettings and |
| GApplication. Users of these APIs will need to be adapted. In |
| particular, a new release of GTK+ is required to go along with |
| this one. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
2010-06-17 04:42:16 +02:00

2010-03-26 15:39:33 +01:00
===================================================
2021-01-13 14:58:57 +01:00
* It is now allowed to call g_thread_init(NULL) multiple times, and
to call glib functions before g_thread_init(NULL) is called
(although the later is mainly a change in docs as this worked before
too). See the GThread reference documentation for the details.
* GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
when g_type_init() is called.
* GObject no longer allows to call g_object_set() on construct-only properties
while an object is being initialized. If this behavior is needed, setting a
custom constructor that just chains up will re-enable this functionality.
* GMappedFile on an empty file now returns NULL for the contents instead of
returning an empty string. The documentation specifically states that code
may not rely on nul-termination here so any breakage caused by this change
is a bug in application code.

* g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
* GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
Packagers will need to adapt to this.
* Threading changes:
- The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
call.
- GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
when g_type_init() is called.
- Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
* GObject:
- Another bunch of performance work has landed

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

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

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.19.9 to GLib 2.20.0
===================================================
2021-01-13 14:58:57 +01:00
* The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() +
friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs
with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26,
FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile
constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate
POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale. The
only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an
URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of
looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at
the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile
object with the given URI.
2009-03-13 05:09:21 +01:00
* Base64 support: Avoid integer overflows. CVE-2008-4316

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

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.17.7 to GLib 2.18.0
===================================================
2021-01-13 14:58:57 +01:00
* The recommended way of using GLib has always been to only include the
toplevel headers glib.h, glib-object.h and gio.h. GLib enforces this by
generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.14.x to GLib 2.15.0
===================================================
Major new features:
* GIO: a VFS API, designed to replace GnomeVFS. The GIO implementation
in GLib has support for local filesystems. The new, separate gvfs
module contains various backend implementations (cifs, ftp, sftp,
http, ...)
* GChecksum: provides various hash algorithms, such as MD5, SHA-1
and SHA-256
* GTest: a test framework
Smaller additions:
* GHash:
- GHash has iterators, as an alternative to g_hash_table_foreach
* GMarkup:
- g_markup_parse_context_get_element_stack: New function to
get the stack of open elements
- G_MARKUP_PREFIX_ERROR_POSITION: New flag to improve error
reporting
- g_markup_collect_attributes: Convenience function for handling
attributes
* GKeyFile:
- Functions that take a GError now return a boolean to indicate
success, instead of void
- Various performance improvements
* GAsyncQueue:
- g_async_queue_new_full: new function that allows to specify
a free function for leftover elements
* GError:
- g_prefix_error and g_propagate_prefixed_error: New functions
to ease error propagation
* Internationalization:
- C_: A new 2-argument variant of the Q_() macro
- Use native character set conversion API on Windows
* GLib builds with automake 1.10

2006-02-24 15:25:06 +01:00
Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.6 to GLib 2.10.0
==================================================
2021-01-13 14:58:57 +01:00
* The functions g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf() have been removed from
the gprintf.h header, since they are already declared in glib.h. This
doesn't break documented use of gprintf.h, but people have been known
to include gprintf.h without including glib.h.
* The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. This adds several
new members to the GUnicodeBreakType enumeration.
* The support for Solaris threads has been retired. Solaris has provided
POSIX threads for long enough now to have them available on every
Solaris platform.
* 'make check' has been changed to validate translations by calling
msgfmt with the -c option. As a result, it may fail on systems with
older gettext implementations (GNU gettext < 0.14.1, or Solaris gettext).
'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not
support ELF visibility attributes.
* The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice
allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details.
* A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
to help with the transition.

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.0 to GLib 2.9.1
=================================================
* Memory management
- The slice allocator is implemented [Tim Janik]
- g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to
g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
- Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
* Data structures
- Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
* Thread support
- Support for Solaris threads has been removed
[Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
- g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
variants [Martyn Russell]
* GObject:
- The concept of a floating initial reference has been
moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
* Win32 changes:
- Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
* Misc new API:
- G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
constants [Andrew Paprocki]
- G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT macro to instruct the
compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]

2005-11-17 20:05:59 +01:00
Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
=================================================
* Unicode support:
- The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
[Behdad Esfahbod]
- The various Unicode character predicate functions
(g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
been optimized
[Behdad]
- g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
These functions handle negative offsets now, and
going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
"stutter stepping".
[Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
* Memory management:
- Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
- All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
data structures) have been deprecated, since they
never worked as intended.
- The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
efficient and scalable implementation.
[Tim Janik, Matthias]
* Pattern matching:
- g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
unnecessary recursion.
[Tim, Matthias]
* g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
- New functions to intern strings. These are now used
by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
[Matthias]
* g_thread_foreach:
- New function to iterate over all GThreads
[Tim, Matthias]
* g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
- New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
in favor of these.
[Roger Leigh]
* g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
- These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
since they are in glib.h

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
=================================================
2021-01-13 14:58:57 +01:00
* GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of 'GLib filename encoding', which is the
on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. All GLib functions
returning or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect
filenames in this encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing
with pathnames have been wrapped. These wrappers are declared in the
header <glib/gstdio.h> which must be included explicitly; it is not
included through <glib.h>.
On current (NT-based) Windows versions, where the on-disk file names
are Unicode, these wrappers use the wide-character API in the C
library. Thus applications can handle file names containing any
Unicode characters through GLib's own API and its POSIX wrappers,
not just file names restricted to characters in the system codepage.
To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against
older versions of GLib, the Windows DLL still provides entry points
with the old semantics using the old names, and applications
compiled against GLib 2.6 will actually use new names for the
functions. This is transparent to the programmer.
When compiling against GLib 2.6, applications intended to be
portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into
consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose
names have been constructed from strings returned from GLib.
* Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed
to return UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for
applications compiled against older versions of GLib.
* The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not.
In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that,
GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed
header files and were never intended to be exported.
* To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GLib, when compiled
with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
IA__, may be seen when debugging a GLib program.
* On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window when printing
warning messages if stdout or stderr are invalid, as they are in
"Windows subsystem" (GUI) applications. Simply redirect stdout or
stderr if you need to see them.
* The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many
thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads
implementation on Linux) where it's not possible to call waitpid()
for a child created in a different thread. For this reason, for
maximum portability, you should structure your code to fork all
child processes that you want to wait for from the main thread.
* A problem was recently discovered with g_signal_connect_object();
it doesn't actually disconnect the signal handler once the object being
connected to dies, just disables it. See the API docs for the function
for further details and the correct workaround that will continue to
work with future versions of GLib.
2004-12-13 16:09:00 +01:00
* Major new APIs
- GOption, a commandline option parser
- GKeyFile, a parser/editor for the .ini like files
- Functions to support the XDG basedir specification
- Wrappers for common POSIX pathname functions to handle filename
2004-12-14 00:05:16 +01:00
encodings consistently. On Windows, these use UTF-8.
2004-12-13 16:09:00 +01:00
* Miscellaneous new functions
- g_filename_display_name() converts filenames in displayable UTF-8 strings
- g_uri_list_extract_uris() splits uri lists
- g_date_get_iso8601_week_of_year() gets ISO 8601 week numbers
- g_log_set_default_handler() installs an alternate default log handler
- g_get_language_names() obtains a list of applicable locale names
- g_strv_length() calculates the length of NULL-terminated string arrays
- g_win32_get_windows_version() determines the Windows version
- G_GNUC_INTERNAL marks functions as non-exported
- glib_check_version() checks the GLib version at runtime
- g_debug() completes the family of logging functions
* Performance improvements
- Optimize g_utf8_validate()
- Optimize g_markup_parse_context_parse()
- Reduce signal connection complexity from O(n) to O(1)
- Get rid of many PLT entries for internally used exported symbols
- Reduce code size by removing literal strings from g_return_if_fail()
* Other changes
2004-12-14 00:05:16 +01:00
- On Windows, GLib functions that take file name arguments now require
those to be in UTF-8. Functions that return file names return UTF-8.
2004-12-13 16:09:00 +01:00
- Use higher precision for mathematical constants
- Don't convert to/from UTF-8 in g_filename_to_uri/g_filename_from_uri

locking at runtime.
- Default implementations of locking functions for pthreads,
Solaris threads, and (experimentally) NSPR.

insert elements at an arbitrary index
* GAllocators used for glist, gslist, gnode node allocations
* Incremental freezing in ghash
* New function g_hook_list_marshal_check to eventually destroy hooks after
they got marshalled

* Removed GListAllocator type and its g_*_allocator_*() function variants
* Bug fixes
Overview of changes in GLib 1.1.5
=================================
* Win32 portability
* GIOChannel structure to encapsulate the IPC mechanism
* Reimplemented endian stuff, using inline asm for x86
* New functions:
- g_strescape: escapes backslashes
- g_path_is_absolute and g_path_skip_root
- g_getenv: expands environment variables that contain references
to other environment variables
- g_scanner_sync_file_offset: rewind the filedescriptor to the current
buffer position and blow the file read ahead buffer
- g_array_remove_index: remove an entry, preserving the order
- g_array_remove_index_fast: remove an entry, order might be distorted
- g_ptr_array_remove: remove an entry, preserving the order
- g_ptr_array_remove_fast: remove an entry, order might be distorted
- g_byte_array_remove_index: wrapper for g_array_remove_index
- g_byte_array_remove_index_fast: wrapper for g_array_remove_index_fast
- g_strncasecmp: modeled closely after g_strcasecmp
- g_list_sort, g_slist_sort: to merge sort GLists and GSLists
* New macros:
- G_DIR_SEPARATOR, G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S: platform-dependant file name
syntax elements
- G_SEARCHPATH_SEPARATOR, G_SEARCHPATH_SEPARATOR_S: platform-dependant
search path syntax conventions
- G_STRUCT_OFFSET, G_STRUCT_MEMBER_P, G_STRUCT_MEMBER: for handling
structure fields through their offsets

* Bug fixes
Overview of changes in GLib 1.1.4
=================================
* Added generic callback maintenance functions (ghook)
* New endian defines (G_*_ENDIAN)
* New string join/split/free routines
* Fixes
Overview of changes in GLib 1.1.3
=================================
* New GModule mechanism (implemented in an extra library) which wraps dynamic
object code loading facilities in a portable manner.
* glib-config features extra "glib" (old behaviour remains) and "gmodule"
(add libgmodule.so to the --libs output) arguments now. this can also
be specified as fourth argument to the AM_PATH_GLIB() macro.
* Overhaul of the `inline' autoconfiguration stuff, so inlining should be
sufficiently supported on all systems that allow inlining now.
* New g_log() mechanism for logging of messages at different log levels,
associated with certain log domains (define -DG_LOG_DOMAIN for your library).
* New inline functions for bit masks tests.
* GNode macros (and functions) now return the newly allocated node.
* New macro G_VA_COPY() to work around va_list copying oddities on some
platforms. the non-static g_vsprintf() function vanished in favour of
a publically exported g_strdup_vprintf().
People that used the former g_vsprintf() would definitely want to read the
associated ChangeLog entries (grep for printf).
* New utility functions:
g_strndup(), g_on_error_query(), g_on_error_stack_trace(), g_strdup_printf(),
g_strdup_vprintf(), g_printf_string_upper_bound(), g_spaced_primes_closest(),
g_strnfill(), g_memdup().
* Overhaul of the array implementations, this contains some source incompatible
changes. Again, the ChangeLog is much more informative (grep for garray.c).
* The internals of the g_dataset mechanism are now exported through the
new g_datalist_* API (this is also the underlying implementation for the
keyed data of GtkObjects).
* New function g_atexit(), use of the ATEXIT() macro is discouraged.
* Better configure checks for ansi compliance.
* Libtool update to version 1.2b.
* Lotsa bug fixes and cleanups as always ;)
Overview of changes in GLib 1.1.2
=================================
* Fixed packaging mistake which occured in 1.1.1
* fix 64-bitness in g_prints in glibtest
Overview of changes in GLib 1.1.1
=================================
* An n-way tree implementation is provided now, based on the GNode structure.
* Bugfix for pointer arrays.
Overview of changes in GLib 1.1.0
=================================
* GLib is distributed seperatedly from Gtk+ now and uses a sophisticated
shared library versioning scheme to deal with interface and binary
incompatibilities.
* There is a glib-config helper script installed now.
* Fixups all over the place.
* gboolean is now a gint, not a gchar anymore.
* API extensions for GList and GSList.
* New g_str*() functions for simple string handling.
* GScanner extensions for scope, warning and error handling.
* Minor performance improvements for GMemChunks.
* Implementations of GQuarks and datasets (similar to GtkObjects data
mechansim, but works for generic memory locations).
* More convenience macros for GNU C function arguments.
* Const correction all over the place, including a new pointer type
gconstpointer.
* Generic functions for TAB completions.
* GRelations for n-way mapping of certain data.
