Similarly to how glib-compile-resources can call xmllint to eliminate
whitespace in XML files to reduce their size inside a GResource, we can
use json-glib-format to achieve the same result.
The mechanism for using json-glib-format is the same, with a separate
environment variable if we want to direct glib-compile-resources to a
version of json-glib-format that is not the one in the PATH.

g_key_file_get_locale_string() returns a translated string from the
keyfile. In some cases, it may be useful to know the locale that that
string came from.
Add a new API, g_key_file_get_locale_for_key(), that returns the locale
of the string.
Include tests.
(Modified by Philip Withnall to rename the API and fix some minor review
issues. Squash in a separate test case commit.)

Recent changes has extended the functionality of `gdbus-codegen`
by implementing new options.
This patch extends the documentation including the behaviour of
the new options along the old ones.
(Wording tweaked by Philip Withnall before pushing.)

The tool was ported to Python, but we should not mention the programming
language used, in case we port it to some other language in the distant
future.
This is a variant of g_file_get_path() which returns a const string to
the caller, rather than transferring ownership.
I've been carrying `gs_file_get_path_cached()` in libgsystem and it
has seen a lot of use in the ostree and flatpak codebases. There are
probably others too.
I think language bindings like Python/Gjs could also use this to avoid
an extra malloc (i.e. we could transparently replace
`g_file_get_path()` with `g_file_peek_path()`.
(Originally by Colin Walters. Tweaked by Philip Withnall to update to
2.56, change the function name and drop the locking.)

gdbus-codegen's options only allow a simultaneous header and source
code generation.
A `--header` and `--body` options have been added along with the
`--output` option which allow separate C header and code
generation.
These options cannot be used in addition to the old options such
as `--generate-c-code`, `--generate-docbook` or
`--output-directory`.
These options have also been added to gdbus-codegen's documentation.

The #pragma once is widely supported preprocessor directive that can
be used instead of include guards.
This adds support for using optionally this directive instead of
include guards.

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.

Custom desktop file fields may be translated, but there is currently
no non-hacky way to look up the localized value; fill get gap with
a small wrapper around g_key_file_get_locale_string().

Hopefully discouraging people from overriding that and building with it
enabled.
Pro-tip: GLib will break.

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);
Thanks to Emmanuele Bassi <ebassi@gnome.org> for making the patch
generic.

It adds support for source-specific multicast IGMPv3.
Allow receiving data only from a specified source when joining
a multicast group.
g_socket_join_multicast_group_ssm can be called multiple times
to allow receiving data from more than one source.
Support IPv4 and IPv6.

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
