The optparse module is deprecated since version 2.7 and the
development continues with the argparse.
The code has been moved from optparse to argparse when parsing
command-line options. This has also led to the deprecation of the
`--xml-files`, and positional arguments should be used instead.

In order to enrich information displayed by GApplication command line
handling when --help is invoked, 3 new methods are proposed:
. g_application_set_option_context_parameter_string
. g_application_set_option_context_summary
. g_application_set_option_context_description
Those methods interact with the GApplication's internal GOptionContext
which is created for command line parsing in g_application_parse_command_line.
(please refer to the GOptionContext class for more information about option
context, parameter string, summary and description.)
To illustrate the 3 methods, an example is provided:
. gapplication-example-cmdline4.c
Weak-pointers are currently lacking g_set_object() & g_clear_object()
helpers equivalent. New functions (and macros, both are provided) are
convenient in many case, especially for the property's notify-on-set
pattern:
if (g_set_weak_pointer (...))
g_object_notify (...)
Inspired by Christian Hergert's original implementation for
gnome-builder.

Putting them in the same section causes gtk-doc to mix their properties
together in a single listing, which is confusing.
Since having them in a single section doesn’t really add anything, split
them out to one class per section.

The example code defines an interface with three methods. The preceding text
reads 'This interface defines two methods'. This appears to be because the
example code was changed without updating the surrounding text.

This adds g_file_load_bytes() to make it more convenient to
load the contents of a GFile as GBytes.
It includes a special casing for gresources to increase the
chances that the GBytes directly references the embedded data
instead of copying to the heap.

It's a very common pattern to see code that looks like this in
dispose() or finalize() implementations:
if (priv->source_id > 0)
{
g_source_remove (priv->source_id);
priv->source_id = 0;
}
This API allows to accomplish the same goal with a single line:
g_clear_handle_id (&priv->source_id, (GClearHandleFunc) g_source_remove);

This supports a subset of ISO 8601 since that is a commonly used standard for
storing date and time information. We support only ISO 8601 strings that contain
full date and time information as this would otherwise not map to GDateTime.
This subset includes all of RFC 3339 which is commonly used on the Internet and
the week and ordinal day formats as these are supported in the GDateTime APIs.

to 2.56.)

By default, only build man pages and gtk-doc if the build-deps were
found. To force-enable, pass -Dwith-docs=yes and -Dwith-man=yes.
Also use a foreach loop for man pages instead of listing them all
manually
We're in the process or rewriting other tools in Python to reduce the
number of dependencies of GLib.
Additionally, making glib-genmarshal a Python script reduces the
complexity when cross-compiling, as we don't need a native build to
generate the marshallers.

Very often when we want to convert a string to number, we assume that
the string contains only a number. We have g_ascii_strto* family of
functions to do the conversion but they are awkward to use - one has
to check if errno is zero, end_ptr is not NULL and *end_ptr points to
the terminating nul and then do the bounds checking. Many projects
need this kind of functionality, so it gets reimplemented all the
time.
This commit adds some replacement functions that convert a string to a
signed or unsigned number that also follows the usual way of error
reporting - returning FALSE on failure and filling an error output
parameter.
Partially based on telepathy-glib’s tp_g_ptr_array_contains(), and a
patch by Xavier Claessens <xavier.claessens@collabora.co.uk>.
Test cases included.

This is effectively the mc-wait-for-name tool from
telepathy-mission-control; moving it in to gdbus-tool will make it more
widely useful without making people depend on telepathy-mission-control
for no other reason. The code here is reimplemented from scratch to use
GDBus.
It blocks until the specified well-known name is owned by some process
on the bus (which can be the session, system, or any other bus). By
passing --activate, the same (or a different) name can be auto-started
on the bus first.
A timeout can be specified to ensure the process doesn’t block forever.

Add --dependency-file=foo.d option to generate a gcc -M -MF style
dependency file for other build tools. The current output of
--generate-dependencies is only useful for use directly in Makefile
rules, but can't be used in other build systems like that.
The generated dependency file looks like this:
$ glib-compile-resources --sourcedir= test.gresource.xml --dependency-file=-
test.gresource.xml: test1.txt test2.txt test2.txt
test1.txt:
test2.txt:

Unlike --generate-dependencies, the --dependency-file option can be

The macro could be used at initialization time to avoid having an
unitialized builder, especially with g_auto variables.
The macro tries to be a bit more type-safe by making sure that the
variant_type parameter is actually "const GVariantType
*". Unfortunately I have no idea how to make it possible to also pass
a "const gchar *" parameter without warning.

In a vague attempt at ensuring the .stp scripts can be closely
associated with the .so files which they hard-code references to, rename
the scripts so they include the LT version — so that they are the .so
file name plus .stp.
This does not fix the fact that our .stp scripts will not work on
multiarch systems, as they are installed in an architecture-independent
directory (/usr/share/systemtap/tapset). At the moment, it is
recommended that any distribution who package the .stp files should
install them in the architecture-specific subdirectories of this (for
example, /usr/share/systemtap/tapset/x86-64).
A better long-term solution for this is under discussion upstream:

Add filesystem attribute to detect remote filesystems in order to
replace hardcoded filesystem types in GtkFileSystem. Set this attribute
also for GLocalFile appropriately.
Bump version to 2.49.3, so that early adopters of new API have a version
number to target.
Add a new API to allow clients to register a custom GFile implementation
handling a particular URI scheme.
This can be useful for tests, but also for cases where a different URI
scheme is desired to be used with another custom GFile backend.
As an additional cleanup, we can use this to register the "resource" URI
scheme too.

Nautilus wants to show entries in the sidebar only for removable devices.
It uses currently sort of conditions to determine which devices should be
shown. Those condition fails in some cases unfortunatelly. Lets provide

which devices should be shown. It should return true for all drives with
removable media, or flash media, or drives on usb and firewire buses.

This adds a new --c-generate-autocleanup option to gdbus-codegen
which can be used to instruct gdbus-codegen about what autocleanup
definitions to emit.
Doing this unconditionally was found to interfere with existing
code out in the wild.
The new option takes an argument that can be
none, objects or all; to indicate whether to generate no
autocleanup functions, only do it for object types, or do it
for interface types as well. The default is 'objects', which
matches the unconditional behavior of gdbus-codegen on the 2.48
branch.

This example has been causing on-and-off build breaks for quite some
time. In this case, the code for copying the generated content into the
main docs of GIO is causing problems with srcdir != destdir builds (due
to the files also being copied from the read-only srcdir during
distchecks).
We could probably work around this problem yet again, but since there is
no real benefit to having this content included, so let's remove it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734469
Currently the doc is incomplete when builddir!=srcdir
(e.g. debian package) because glibconfig.h is generared from
configure.ac and is thus missing from srcdir. This leads to
missing doc for symbols like G_GINT64_FORMAT.
