Add two new APIs: g_settings_get_user_value() and
g_settings_get_default_value(). Together, these should allow the
inspection of all interesting cases of "is this key set?" and "what
would happen if I reset this key?"
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668233
g_settings_list_schemas() and g_settings_list_relocatable_schemas() are
now deprecated.
This will allow listing off schemas on non-default sources and is a
better fit with the new direction the API is going.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680838
Add an API to read the summary and description from the .xml schema
files.
This will be used by dconf-editor and gnome-tweak-tool.
This API is a bit heavy -- it parses the XML and builds a table. It
also loads gettext domains for translation. It only does these things
if it is used, however, so it will not impact normal applications.
We store the summary/description in a pair of hash tables on the schema
source (which we have a backref to as of a few commits ago). We can't
use a global table because people might want to request summary and
description from non-default sources. We don't want to use per-schema
tables because we'd have to reparse the directory every time (since we
cannot guess which file a schema may have been in).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668232
Take this private API and make it public along with a boxed type and
ref/unref functions.
Future commits will add accessors with new functionality and some that
allow us to deprecate functions on GSettings itself (such as
g_settings_get_range).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668232
This indicates whether the thumbnail (given by G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_THUMBNAIL_PATH)
is valid — i.e. to represent the file in its current state. If
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_THUMBNAIL_IS_VALID is FALSE (for a normal _or_ failed
thumbnail) it means the file has changed since the thumbnail was generated, and
the thumbnail is out of date.
Part of checking thumbnail validity (by the spec) involves parsing
headers out of the thumbnail .png so we include some (small) code to do
that in a separate file. We will likely want to copy this code to gvfs
to do the same for GVfsFile.
Heavily based on a patch from Philip Withnall <philip.withnall@collabora.co.uk>
who suggested the feature and designed the API.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709898
There are a number of nice things this class brings:
0) Has a race-free termination API on all platforms (on UNIX, calls to
kill() and waitpid() are coordinated as not to cause problems).
1) Operates in terms of G{Input,Output}Stream, not file descriptors
2) Standard GIO-style async API for wait() with cancellation
3) Makes some simple cases easy, like synchronously spawning a
process with an argument list
4) Makes hard cases possible, like asynchronously running a process
with stdout/stderr merged, output directly to a file path
Much rewriting and code review from Ryan Lortie <desrt@desrt.ca>

This is essentially a commandline implementation of the client-side of
the org.freedesktop.Application D-Bus interface.
It includes support for tab-completion based on desktop files and their
contents.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704218
A counterpart for parsing of detailed actions into (name, target) pairs,
this new function prints them back.
We also add a new function to check for validity of action names. Only
valid action names are allowed when printing. Parsing accepts _some_
invalid names for backwards compatibility.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704157
For some time, the desktop file specification has supported "additional
application actions". This is intended to allow for additional methods
of starting an app, such as a mail client having a "Compose New Message"
action that brings up the compose window instead of the folder list.
This patch adds support for this with a relatively minimal API.
In the case that the application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable,
desktop actions are translated into GActions that have been added to the
application with g_action_map_add_action(). This more or less closes
the loop on being able to activate an application with an action
invocation (instead of 'activate').
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664444
Add a new type of GAction that represents the value of a property on an
object. As an example, this might be used on the "visible-child-name"
property of a GtkStack.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703270
Mark 'test', 'test-report', 'perf-report' and 'full-report' as PHONY in
docs/Makefile.am to prevent recursion of gtester into the documentation
subdirectories. Stop including Makefile.decl from these directories
since it is no longer necessary.
This will clear up the warnings about EXTRA_DIST being defined once in
gtk-doc.make and again in Makefile.decl.
This function takes a GIcon, serialises it and sets the resulting
GVariant as the "icon" attribute on the menu item. We will need to add
a patch to Gtk to actually consume this icon.
Also add G_MENU_ATTRIBUTE_ICON.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688820
GBytesIcon is an icon that has a GBytes inside of it where the GBytes
contains some sort of encoded image in a widely-recognised file format.
Ideally this will be a PNG.
It implements GLoadableIcon, so GTK will already understand how to use
it, but we will add another patch there to make things more efficient.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688820
This feature is intended for clients that want to signal a desktop shell
their busy state, for instance because a long-running operation is
pending.
The API works in a similar way to g_application_hold and
g_application_release: applications can call g_application_mark_busy()
to increase a counter that will keep the application marked as busy
until the counter reaches zero again.
The busy state is exported read-only on the org.gtk.Application interface
for clients to use.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672018
Expand and formalise the syntax for detailed action names, adding a
well-documented (and tested) public parser API for them.
Port the only GLib-based user of detailed action names to the new API:
g_menu_item_set_detailed_action(). The users in Gtk+ will also be
ported soon.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688954
Add GSimpleProxyResolver, for letting people do static proxy
resolution, and to use as a base class for other resolvers (such as
GProxyResolverGnome).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691105
Add a proxy-resolver property to GSocketClient, to allow overriding
proxy resolution in situations where you need to force a particular
proxy rather than using the system defaults.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691105
This is a new convenience method designed to simplify some use
cases of GFileEnumerator, by making it easy to get the next file
from a file enumerator.

Add g_socket_get_option() and g_socket_set_option(), wrapping
getsockopt/setsockopt for the case of integer-valued options. Update
code to use these instead of the underlying calls.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=623187
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.
gnetworkingprivate.h now contains just a few internal URI-related
functions
Also add a g_networking_init() function to gnetworking.h, which can be
used to explicitly initialize OS-level networking, rather than having
that happen as a side-effect of registering GInetAddress.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=623187
Really, the memory output stream API is too warped around the model
where it's a fixed size buffer that you've already allocated. Even in
C, I find myself always wanting to use it to just accumulate data into
an arbitrary-sized buffer it allocates.
Unfortunately, it's also not usable from bindings because it's not
common to bind g_free() and g_realloc(), but if you just pass NULL, you
get the default of a fixed size, which is useless as per above.
I am going to use this from a gjs test case, and the GSubprocess test
cases also will use it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688931
Add a pair of new APIs: one to GFile to create a new file from a
commandline arg relative to a given cwd and one to
GApplicationCommandLine to create a GFile from an arg, relative to the
cwd of the invoking commandline.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689037
Reimplement gioscheduler in terms of GTask, and deprecate the original
gioscheduler methods. Update docs to point people to GTask rather than
gioscheduler and GSimpleAsyncResult, but don't actually formally
deprecate GSimpleAsyncResult yet.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661767
GTask is a replacement for GSimpleAsyncResult and GIOScheduler, that
also allows for making cancellable wrappers around non-cancellable
functions (as in GThreadedResolver).

This is the expected (and sane) behavior - without this bug-fix you'd
have to add "Since" to every member of a newly added D-Bus interface.

I don't see a good reason for this - if man page generation is
disabled, man pages are not produced, and things like 'make dist'
will fail. That is simpler and better.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681336
Use $(AM_V_GEN) for generating man pages, and set some parameters
for the XSL stylesheets. Among other things, don't generate AUTHORS
and COPYRIGHT sections.
This looks like it was stubbed out but not implemented; the vtable
entry dates to commit 3781343738 which
is just alex's initial merge of gio into glib.
I was working on some code that wants an asynchronous rm -rf
equivalent, and so yeah, this is desirable.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680760
Rather than doing a two step first-check-the-GAsyncResult-subtype-then-
check-the-tag, add a GAsyncResult-level method so that you can do them
both at once, simplifying the code for "short-circuit" async return
values where the vmethod never gets called.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661767
Finish deprecating the "handle GSimpleAsyncResult errors in the
wrapper function" idiom (and protect against future GSimpleAsyncResult
deprecation warnings) by adding a "legacy" GAsyncResult method
to do it in those classes/methods where it had been traditionally
done.
(This applies only to wrapper methods; in cases where an _async
vmethod explicitly uses GSimpleAsyncResult, its corresponding _finish
vmethod still uses g_simple_async_result_propagate_error.)

Using a caller-supplied buffer for g_input_stream_read() doesn't
translate well to the semantics of many other languages, and using a
non-refcounted buffer for read_async() and write_async() makes it
impossible to manage the memory correctly currently in
garbage-collected languages.
Fix both of these issues by adding a new set of methods that work with
GBytes objects rather than plain buffers.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671139
This essentially adds an accessor for the MimeType field in desktop files,
to retrieve the list of all mime types supported by an application.
The interface though is part of GAppInfo, so it could be implemented
in the future by other backends.

GApplication is using. Prevents others from having to guess these

Add two new methods to GProxyAddress for recovering information about
the destination URI that the proxy was created for (and modify
GProxyAddressEnumerator to set that information when creating the
GProxyAddress).
Move g_pollable_source_new() here from gpollableinputstream.c, add
g_pollable_source_new_full(), and add some new methods to do either
blocking or nonblocking reads depending on a boolean argument.

* Add resolver functions for looking up DNS records of
various types. Currently implemented: MX, TXT, SOA, SRV, NS
* Return records as GVariant tuples.
* Make the GSrvTarget lookups a wrapper over this new
functionality.
* Rework the resolver test so that it has support for
looking up MX, NS, SOA, TXT records, and uses GOptionContext

GSettings overrides are processed in such a way that
alphabetically-later files have precedence over earlier files (eg: 20_
will beat 10_). Document that fact.
Add a function g_simple_async_result_set_check_cancellable() to provide
a GCancellable that is checked for being cancelled during the call to
g_simple_async_result_propagate_error().
This gives asynchronous operation implementations an easy way to
provide reliable cancellation of those operations -- even in the case
that a positive result has occured and is pending dispatch at the time
the operation is cancelled.

If an application (such as Nautilus) wants to show a sidebar with
devices group into different groups such as "Devices" and "Network",
it's currently up to the application itself to do the classification
(for example by looking at the URI scheme for the activation root,
e.g. smb://).
This patch adds a new identifier G_VOLUME_IDENTIFIER_KIND_CLASS that
can be set by volume monitors and used by applications.

This is needed for thread-safety ... yes, it would have been better to
make get_object() return a full reference and have something like a
peek_object() method return a borrowed reference for C convenience
(only a single vfunc would have been needed). But such an ABI break is
too late now...

It's hardly useful to bloat the resource data with blanks intended only

This interfaceifies the extra functions that were on GDBusActionGroup
for dealing with platform data.
The two main benefits of doing this:
- no longer have to do a silly song and dance in GApplication to avoid
calling GDBusActionGroup API from non-dbus-aware code
- the interface can be reused by the action group exporter to avoid
ugly and unbindable hook callbacks

Clean up the docs for GApplication and related classes.
I'm no longer writing documentation for the structure type of classes
and interfaces. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665926
for discussin on the correct way forward on this point.
Also: stop putting gtk-doc comments in installed headers.
Have one simple _get() API that returns the group immediately, in an
empty state. The group is initialised on the first attempt to interact
with it.
Leave a secret 'back door' for GApplication to do a blocking
initialisation.
Rename g_application_set_menu to g_application_set_app_menu and make a
couple of fixups. Clarify the documentation about exactly what this
menu is meant to be.
Add g_application_set_menubar and document that as well.
