Once upon a time, we tried to return all possible certificate errors,
but it never actually worked reliably and nowadays we have given up.
This needs to be documented because a reasonable developer would not
expect it.
Because mistakes could be security-critical, I decided to copy the same
warning in several different places rather than relying only on
cross-referencese.
D-Bus has an upper limit on number of Match rules and it's rather easy to hit
with a big number of proxies with signal subscriptions. This happens with
NetworkManager with hundreds of devices or connection settings. By passing
G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE to g_dbus_connection_signal_subscribe(), the
user can call AddMatch with a less granular match instead of a match per every
proxy.
Tests subsequently added by Philip Withnall.
Fixes: #1109
This adds g_tls_connection_get_protocol_version(),
g_tls_connection_get_ciphersuite_name(), and DTLS variants. This will
allow populating TLS connection information in the WebKit web inspector.
This is WIP because we found it's not quite possibly to implement
correctly with GnuTLS. See glib-networking!151.
In a PKCS#11 operation there are multiple types of PINs possibly
needed and these flags add a way to expose them to the user.
This design exactly matches gnutls' gnutls_pin_flag_t API.
In the 2.68 cycle we’d added 3 new enumerator elements. Due to the
preceding commit, they can now be annotated with
`GLIB_AVAILABLE_ENUMERATOR_IN_2_68`, which will make it a bit easier for
third party projects to notice when they’re using these symbols without
having bumped their GLib dependency.

This eliminates a common use case for the
`GDBusAuthObserver::authorize-authenticated-peer` signal, which is often

This was mostly machine generated with the following command:
```
codespell \
--builtin clear,rare,usage \
--skip './po/*' --skip './.git/*' --skip './NEWS*' \
--write-changes .
```
using the latest git version of `codespell` as per [these
instructions](https://github.com/codespell-project/codespell#user-content-updating).
Then I manually checked each change using `git add -p`, made a few
manual fixups and dropped a load of incorrect changes.
There are still some outdated or loaded terms used in GLib, mostly to do
with git branch terminology. They will need to be changed later as part
of a wider migration of git terminology.
If I’ve missed anything, please file an issue!

We used XML to markup when we should have used our own brand of markdown
instead. This fixes the example being unreadable unless we trimmed the
XML away from it.
These have all been documented as deprecated for a long time, but we’ve
never had a way to programmatically mark them as deprecated. Do that
now.
This is based on the list of deprecations from the reverted commit
80fcb1bc2.

Fixes: #638
This reverts commit 80fcb1bc26.
G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED should never be used by anybody, least of all by
GLib. We have deprecation annotations for the compiler, these days, and
they are much better suited than a macro that makes symbols appear and
disappear. The fact that gtk-doc doesn't understand the deprecation
annotations is a limitation of gtk-doc, and it's gtk-doc that ought to be
fixed.
Commit 80fcb1bc broke GStreamer, which disables old API that was
deprecated before the introduction of the deprecation annotations, but
still uses newly deprecated one, and relies on the deprecation
annotations to do their thing. It also broke libsoup, as it uses
GValueArray in its own API.
As pointed out by gtk-doc, these are all symbols which have been marked
as deprecated, but which aren’t protected by a deprecation guard. We
can’t use G_DEPRECATED_IN_* for them, as they are all non-function
symbols. Instead, wrap them in #ifndef G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED.
In some cases, we also need to wrap one or two functions which use the
deprecated types in G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED too.

This allows returning WOULD_BLOCK without allocating a GError, and
should later be used for various functions of GPollableOutputStream,
GPollableInputStream and anything else that can potentially block.
While uniqueness is great, sometimes you want to restart
a newer version of the same app. These two flags make that
possible.
We also add a ::name-lost signal, that is emitted when it
happens. The default handler for this signal just calls
g_application_quit(), but applications may want to connect
and do cleanup or state-saving here.
Allowing unsafe rehandshakes used to be required for web compatibility,
but this is no longer a concern in 2018. So there should no longer be
compatibility benefits to calling this function. All it does is make
your TLS connection insecure.
Also, rehandshaking no longer exists at all in TLS 1.3.
At some point (maybe soon!) glib-networking will begin ignoring the
rehandshake mode, so let's deprecate it now.
On Windows NTFS symlinks are implemented as reparse points,
which are special kinds of files *or directories*. A directory
symlink should link to a directory. A file symlink should link
to a file. Mismatching (such as a file symlink pointing to a
directory) produces symlinks that simply do not function.
Therefore GFileType file vs directory vs symlink distinction is
too simplistic to correctly represent a NTFS filesystem object type.
Since we can't turn back time and choose a better way of representing
file types, make GFileType reflect the file vs directory type on
Windows, meaning that all FS objects are either files or
directories (or shortcuts, which are also files), but never symlinks.
A test for symlinkiness will have to be made via GFileInfo - it
tracks symlinkiness separately from file/directory/whatever.
This will fix a few broken links in the documentation, and shut up a
load of gtk-doc warnings (but certainly not all of them).

PulseAudio and LibreOffice are among the services that use this flag.
Refusing to queue for a name lets you do this transaction,
but atomically, avoiding the transient state where you briefly join
the queue and then are given the name when its primary owner drops it:
result = RequestName(name)
if result == IN_QUEUE:
ReleaseName(name)
result = EXISTS
return result

The implementation passes flags through directly to the RequestName()
call, so if any new values break that equivalence, the implementation
will have to be changed.

Some applications support running in a mode where they present
themselves as a different application to the user (for example web
browsers or terminals).
To facilitate this, add an option --gapplication-app-id which allows
users to override an application's id from desktop files or similar.
Applications need to opt-in to this by setting the
G_APPLICATION_CAN_OVERRIDE_APP_ID flag.

DBus has recently introduced new message flag
DBUS_HEADER_FLAG_ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION, which tells that
caller is willing to wait for unspecified amount of time for the call
to return, as the service may perform interactive authorization (e.g.
using polkit).

This allows the caller to know when a socket has been bound so that
it can for instance set the SO_SENDBUF and SO_RECVBUF socket options
before listen is called

Remove all event merging and dispatch logic from GFileMonitor. The only
implementation of GFileMonitor outside of glib is in gvfs and it already
does these things properly.
Get rid of GLocalDirectoryMonitor. We will use a single class,
GLocalFileMonitor, for both directory and file monitoring. This will
prevent every single backend from having to create two objects
separately (eg: ginotifydirectorymonitor.c and ginotifyfilemonitor.c).
Introduce GFileMonitorSource as a thread-safe cross-context dispatch
mechanism. Put it in GLocalFileMonitor. All backends will be expected
to dispatch via the source and not touch the GFileMonitor object at all
from the worker thread.
Remove all construct properties from GLocalFileMonitor and remove the
"context" construct property from GFileMonitor. All backends must now
get the information about what file to monitor from the ->start() call
which is mandatory to implement.
Remove the implementation of rate limiting in GFileMonitor and add an
implementation in GLocalFileMonitor. gvfs never did anything with this
anyway, but if it wanted to, it would have to implement it for itself.
This was done in order to get the rate_limit field into the
GFileMonitorSource so that it could be safely accessed from the worker
thread.
Expose g_local_file_is_remote() internally for NFS detection.
With the "is_remote" functionality exposed, we can now move all
functions for creating local file monitors to a proper location in
glocalfilemonitor.c
Port the inotify backend to adjust to the changes above. None of the
other backends are ported yet. Those will come in future commits.
Add a property to GNetworkMonitor indicating the level of network
connectivity: none/local, limited, stuck behind a portal, or full.
The default implementation just returns none or full depending on the
value of is-available.

Add G_IO_ERROR_CONNECTION_CLOSED as an alias for
G_IO_ERROR_BROKEN_PIPE, and also return it on ECONNRESET.
It doesn't really make sense to try to distinguish EPIPE and
ECONNRESET at the GLib level, since the exact choice of which error
gets returned in what conditions depends on the OS. Given that, we
ought to map the two errors to the same value, and since we're already
mapping EPIPE to G_IO_ERROR_BROKEN_PIPE, we need to map ECONNRESET to
that too. But the existing name doesn't really make sense for sockets,
so we add a new name.
