On platforms where dependent loads can be reordered (alpha) and we have
exotic implementation of pthread_mutex_lock() it could be possible that
our implementation of g_mutex_lock() is unsafe.
Always use atomic operations to avoid this possibility.

Add some extra protection when 'preparing' a group that doesn't yet
contain any menus. This can happen if you subscribe to a group that
doesn't yet exist.
It was possible to crash any application using
g_dbus_connection_export_menu_model() by requesting a non-existent
subscription group over the bus.
In practice this only happened in races -- where the proxy sees a group
that exists and queries it, but by the time it does, it's already gone.

Applications that use glib should not invoke waitpid with a first
argument that is nonpositive, because when such a waitpid is run in
one thread and glib waits for a subprocess in another, there is a race
condition, and the former waitpid can reap a process that was intended
for the latter. Mention this in the documentation for
g_child_watch_source_new, and in the diagnostic generated by
g_spawn_sync when its waitpid fails with errno equal to ECHILD.

This is installed by automake. By maintaining it in git, we create
merge conflicts as people build with different versions of automake.
Just use 'mkdir -p' instead in gettext. Should be portable enough.

Allow GDBusObjectManagerClient to work on peer to peer DBus
connections. Don't require that a unique bus name is available
for the object manager, if the owned bus name is NULL.

When building the file attribute table info for local files, use
thumbnail paths in $XDG_CACHE_DIR/thumbnails/large in addition to
$XDG_CACHE_DIR/thumbnails/normal.
Failing to do this would cause an application that creates large
thumbnails by default to never find any value for
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_THUMBNAIL_PATH, with no
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_THUMBNAILING_FAILED set, which might cause the
application to either think thumbnailing is still in progress, or
blindly requeue thumbnail operations in a loop.
Large thumbnails are generally preferred, so we now default to the path
of a large thumbnail (in case both are present).

The various read and write methods have several out arguments which were not
previously marked as such. Also, as GIOChannel supports binary data with a NULL
encoding, the buffers need to be uint8 arrays instead of utf8 strings.
Sometimes the poll duration in the /socket/timed_wait test is slightly
bigger than the requested 100000, causing failures like:
GLib-GIO:ERROR:socket.c:620:test_timed_wait:
assertion failed (poll_duration < 110000): (110057 < 110000)
Adjust the test to allow some jitter in the "too high" direction.

GBusNameVanishedCallback is called with a NULL GDBusConnection in the
case that the connection has vanished. We were doing an assert to
verify that it was the same as we had exported the menu on and that
assert was failing.

Very many testcases, some GLib tools (resource compiler, etc) and
GApplication were calling g_type_init().
Remove those uses, as they are no longer required.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686161
Move the guts of g_type_init() into a ctor and turn g_type_init() itself
into a do-nothing function.
g_type_init_with_debug_flags() now ignores its arguments, but it has
always been possible to achieve the same effect via environment
variables.

We were using the user-passed value of the @property argument for
several purposes in g_settings_bind(): error messages, binding
uniqueness (ie: one-binding-per-property-per-object) and most
importantly, connecting to the detailed notify:: signal.
The user may pass a string like "property_name" when the property's
canonical name is "property-name". g_object_class_find_property() will
find the property under these circumstances, but a connection to
"notify::property_name" will not notice notifies emitted for
"property-name".
We can solve this by using the user's string to perform the lookup and
then using pspec->name for everything after that.

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).

If the closure is invalidated we drop the ref on the signal handler
node, but if the signal is currently being dispatched, the ref could be
held elsewhere.
Flag that we no longer have an outstanding invalidation handler so that
we don't try to unregister ourselves when the other ref drops.
Add a testcase that catches this situation.
