We now allow g_thread_init(NULL) to be called after other glib calls (with
some minor limitations). This is mainly a documentation change as this
really was already possible.
We also allow g_thread_init() to be called multiple times. Only the
first call actually initializes the threading system, further calls
are ignored (but print a warning if the argument is not NULL).

Previous code used g_mkstemp(). But when using
G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION, no attempt was made to ensure proper
mode and flags of the created temporary file. The visible issue was that
the file was always created with mode 0600 as opposed to using 0666.
(The invisible issue was that O_RDWR was used instead of O_WRONLY.)
This function exposes more variables than g_mkstemp() and therefor
allows more flexibility when creating temporary files.
The intended use is gio's code for g_file_replace() (see next patch)
This patch only adds the function. The function is a NOP.
See the API documentation for a rationale.
Part of: Bug 591388 - number of GCancellables available is too limited
For details, see bug 587482. The new api:
- Provide new _with_operation() variants of all unmount and eject methods
- Add GMountOperation::show-processes signal
- this can be used to show processes blocking an unmount operation
- Deprecate all unmount and eject methods
- Add g_drive_can_start_degraded() method
- this is to avoid auto-starting degraded drives
- Make g_drive_stop() resp. g_file_stop_mountable() take a GMountOperation
- these ops were recently added and not yet public API so it's fine
to change how they work
- Provide a way to poll mountable files, e.g. g_file_poll_mountable()
- Add some missing file attributes for mountable files
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_UNIX_DEVICE_FILE
- needed for the GDU Nautilus extensions to format a volume
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_CAN_START_DEGRADED:
- mimics g_drive_can_start_degraded()
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_CAN_POLL:
- mimics g_drive_can_poll_for_media()
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_IS_MEDIA_CHECK_AUTOMATIC
- mimics g_drive_is_media_check_automatic()
Add API for starting/stopping drives. This new API will enable
GVolumeMonitor and GVfs implementations to add support for the
following features
1. Powering down external hard disk enclosures / drives
2. Starting/stopping multi-disk devices (such as RAID/btrfs/ZFS)
3. Connecting/disconnecting iSCSI devices
4. Reacting to the user pressing e.g. the "remove drive" button on
a IBM/Lenovo Ultrabay: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ultrabay
See the bug for the corresponding GVfs and Nautilus changes.
