g_get_home_dir(): honour $HOME If the $HOME environment variable is set, prefer that to the entry in /etc/passwd. This brings us in line with almost every other utility and library on UNIX-like systems while avoiding some of the more complicated possibilities that have been suggested. This incompatible change has been petitioned for quite some time by many, and in particular from the Debian world, which carries a patch that adds a new G_HOME environment variable with the same meaning as this patch now assigns to HOME. The primary motivation for the change was to increase the testability of GLib-based programs from 'make check' types of frameworks: it is now possible to set HOME to a temp directory to avoid the testsuite modifying the user's real home directory. The change also brings us increased compliance with the XDG Base Directory Specification. The specification specifically states that the default values should be computed based on the HOME environment variable, whereas we were basing them on the value from /etc/passwd. The change was agreed to by all in attendence at the November 29 Gtk+ developer meeting. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142568

Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
==============================================
2.35.3
2012-12-17 14:39:24 -05:00
* 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

glib 2.31.6
2011-12-19 13:38:21 -05:00
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
666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory

==============================================
glib 2.31.4
2011-12-12 13:28:24 -05:00
* 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.

* 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

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)

time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).

2011-10-19 15:26:25 -04:00
* pkg-config files:
- drop -uninstalled variants
- remove gobject dependency on gthread

implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.

Update NEWS
2011-06-04 08:13:48 -04:00
* 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

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

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

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

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:

Update NEWS for 2.27.1
2010-10-25 08:19:34 -04:00
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:
613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe

Prepare to release glib 2.25.13
2010-08-06 16:48:03 -04:00
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

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)
- change GSettingsBackend vtable
- 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

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)

2010-06-17 16:13:29 -04:00
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| 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. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
Updates
2010-06-16 22:42:16 -04:00
* GDBus
- Use Gio's default async implementation

GSettingsBackend
Updates
2010-06-16 22:42:16 -04:00
* GApplication
- Switch to using variants for timestamps
- Use GInitable
* GObject
- Introduce g_object_notify_by_pspec
- Add GBinding
Add fundamental type and pspec for GVariant Make G_TYPE_VARIANT a fundamental type instead of boxed, and add g_variant_{set,get,dup}_variant. Add GParamSpecVariant. Bug #610863.
2010-06-17 18:03:51 +02:00
- The GVariant gtype G_TYPE_VARIANT was changed from boxed
to fundamental. We believe there were no existing users
of the boxed type, so this should not cause any applications
to break.

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
585566 GSocketListener API issues

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:
505361 gunixinputstream.c assumes poll() available
509446 portable blocking gio cancellation

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.16.x to GLib 2.17.0
===================================================
* Update to Unicode 5.1
* Update included libcharset to the one shipped with libiconv 0.12
* Update included PCRE to 7.7
* Enforce that only toplevel headers are directly included.
This is turned on by default for GObject and GIO. To turn
it on for GLib, define G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.
* Fix library version of GIO. GLib 2.16 shipped with libgio-2.0.so.0.0.0
* On Solaris, use FEN for file monitoring in GIO
* Use the GIO_EXTRA_MODULES environment variable to find
additional GIO modules
* G_GNUC_ALLOC_SIZE: New macro that wraps the gcc alloc_size
function attribute
* g_checksum_reset: New function to reset the state of a GChecksum
* g_unix_mount_monitor_set_rate_limit: New function to limit the
rate at which events are reported
* g_file_query_file_type: New utility function to query the type of
a file
* g_memory_output_stream_get_data_size: New function to obtain the
size of the written data.

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

Updates 2005-12-08 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com> * NEWS: Updates
2005-12-08 05:00:35 +00:00
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]
- GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an
extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]
- g_param_spec_ref_sink() has been added for consistency [Tim]
* $LOGNAME is respected when determining user data. [Laszlo Peter]
* Other changes and bug fixes [Tim, Matthias, Behdad,
Christian Persch, Benedikt Meurer, Andrew Paprocki,
Kazuki Iwamoto, Alexis S. L. Carvalho, Stanislav Brabec,
Andreas Schwab, Kalle Vahlman]
* Documentation

Updates 2005-11-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com> * NEWS: Updates * glib/gthread.c (g_thread_foreach): Mark as new api. * README.in: Updates.
2005-11-17 19:05:59 +00:00
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
[Matthias]

Dropped the destination parameter, always g_malloc a new string. Fix bug in g_strcompress, octal digits were gobbled up without limit, should use max three. Sources that use g_strescape must have ifdefs to be compilable both with GLib 1.2 and 1.3.
1999-08-02 23:16:32 +00:00
* g_strcompress() added, g_strescape() had a slight API change, and
