With search gaining traction as being the preferred way to locate
applications, the existing .desktop file fields meant for browsing
often produce insufficient results.
gnome-control-center introduced a custom X-GNOME-Keywords field for
that purpose, which we plan to support in gnome-shell as well.

And remove the 'joinable' argument from g_thread_new() and
g_thread_new_full().
Change the wording in the docs. Clarify expectations for
(deprecated) g_thread_create().
It is possible for _g_io_module_get_default() to be called recursively
(eg, if a module of one type is loaded that tries to look up gsettings
from its init() method and ends up causing the gsettings module to be
loaded). So use a recursive mutex.
If the connection to the bus is lost while a method call is ongoing,
the method call does not get cancelled. Instead it just sits around
until it times out.
This is visible here on XO laptops when stopping the display manager
during shutdown. imsettings starts sending a sync message to give up
its bus name (via g_bus_unown_name()), then systemd terminates the
session bus at approximately the same time. imsettings then hangs for
about 20 seconds before timing out the message.

imsettings behaviour could be improved as described in that thread,
but I think this is a glib bug. I've also come up with the attached
patch which fixes it.
Credits for the bug-fix goes to Daniel Drake <dsd@laptop.org>. The test
case was written by David Zeuthen <zeuthen@gmail.com>.

Add g_main_context_ref_thread_default(), which always returns a
reffed GMainContext, rather than sometimes returning a (non-reffed)
GMainContext, and sometimes returning NULL. This simplifies the
bookkeeping in any code that needs to keep a reference to the
thread-default context for a while.

Since it is valid for a D-Bus interface / service to add new methods,
signals or properties we must NEVER warn about unknown properties or
drop unknown signals or disallow unknown method invocations when we
have an expected interface.
So this means that the expected_interface machinery is only useful for
checking that the service didn't break ABI.
Also update the docs so it is clear exactly what it means to have an
expected interface.

These were the last users of the dynamic allocation API.
Keep the uses in glib/tests/mutex.c since this is actually meant to test
the API (which has to continue working, even if it is deprecated).

Add _g_io_module_get_default(), which implements the
figure-out-the-best-available-module-that-is-actually-usable logic,
and use that to simplify g_proxy_resolver_get_default(),
g_settings_backend_get_default(), g_tls_backend_get_default(), and
g_vfs_get_default().

g_file_make_directory_with_parents() will fail for already
existing directories, unlike g_mkdir_with_parents(), so mention
this clearly in the docs.

The GIOScheduler was using a GCond in a way that didn't deal with the
possibility of spurious wakeups. Add an explicit predicate and a loop.

Make the options from an /etc/fstab entry available as public API -
this can be used to support options such as
comment=gvfs.name=Foo\040Bar
to e.g. set the name of an fstab mount in the UI to "Foo Bar".

This reverts commit c841c2ce3f.
This approach has been an unmitigated disaster. We're getting all sorts
of crashes due to functions that are returning NULL because they can't
find the schema for the default value. The people who get these crashes
are then confused about the root cause of the problem and waste a lot of
time trying to figure it out.
Until we find a better solution, we should go back to what we had
before.

All locks are now zero-initialised, so we can drop the G_*_INIT macros
for them.
Adjust various users around GLib accordingly and change the docs.

Deprecate both g_thread_create functions and add
g_thread_new() and g_thread_new_full(). The new functions
expect a name for the thread.
Change GThreadPool, GMainContext and GDBus to create named threads.

GVDB deals with empty lists by returning NULL for the list instead of a
zero-length (non-NULL) strv. We can work around that in GSettingsSchema
by checking for the NULL case and treating it like a zero-length list.

On recent Linux distros /etc/mtab is just a symlink to /proc/mounts
and GFileMonitor does not work there because of how the kernel conveys
that the file changes.

Previously, we took the default application for a particular mimetype
from the system and copied it into the user's configuration as the
default there.
Instead of doing that we leave the user's default unset, and at time of
use, if the user has no explicitly-set default value, we use the system
default.
This avoids complicated situations where inappropriate applications were
being set as the default in the user's configuration.

This tests the interaction between mimeinfo.cache, defaults.list and
mimeapps.list to ensure g_app_info_set_as_last_used_for_type doesn't
incorrectly change the default.

The documentation for G_TYPE_CHAR says:
"The type designated by G_TYPE_CHAR is unconditionally an 8-bit signed
integer."
However the return value for g_value_get_char() was just "char" which
in C has an unspecified signedness; on e.g. x86 it's signed (which
matches the GType), but on e.g. PowerPC or ARM, it's not.
We can't break the old API, so we need to suck it up and add new API.
Port most internal users, but keep some tests of the old API too.

Otherwise we might collide with an interface called Connection.

This is for the same reason that GDBusProxy has its properties
