The docs for GString should really mention GByteArray, and what makes
it different. Drop the comparison to Java which is dated and actually
inaccurate (because StringBuffer operates on Unicode).
While we're here, add g_string_free_to_bytes(), which further
complements the spread of GBytes-based API. For example, one can
create a buffer using GString, then send it off via
g_output_stream_write_bytes().

They make a full (deep) copy of a list.
In contrast with g_[s]list_copy(), these functions take a function as a argument
to make a copy of each list element, in addition to copying the list container itself.
The functions g_[s]list_copy() were reimplemented to just call the new functions
with NULL as the function argument, which will behave like current implementation.

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.

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.

Provide public access to the GDBusConnect and object path that
GApplication is using. Prevents others from having to guess these
things for themselves based on the application ID.

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.

The way gtk-doc works, we need compiling.sgml in both
content_files (to make sure it ends up in the disted tarball)
and in expand_content_files (to have references expanded).
There are cases when it should be possible to define at compile time
what range of functions and types should be used, in order to get,
or restrict, the compiler warnings for deprecated or newly added
types or functions.
For instance, if GLib introduces a deprecation warning on a type in
version 2.32, application code can decide to specify the minimum and
maximum boundary of the used API to be 2.30; when compiling against
a new version of GLib, this would produce the following results:
- all deprecations introduced prior to 2.32 would emit compiler
warnings when used by the application code;
- all deprecations introduced in 2.32 would not emit compiler
warnings when used by the application code;
- all new symbols introduced in 2.32 would emit a compiler warning.
Using this scheme it should be possible to have fairly complex
situations, like the following one:
assuming that an application is compiled with:
GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED = GLIB_VERSION_2_30
GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED = GLIB_VERSION_2_32
and a GLib header containing:
void function_A (void) GLIB_DEPRECATED_IN_2_26;
void function_B (void) GLIB_DEPRECATED_IN_2_28;
void function_C (void) GLIB_DEPRECATED_IN_2_30;
void function_D (void) GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_2_32;
void function_E (void) GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_2_34;
any application code using the above functions will get the following
compiler warnings:
function_A: deprecated symbol warning
function_B: deprecated symbol warning
function_C: no warning
function_D: no warning
function_E: undefined symbol warning
This means that it should be possible to gradually port code towards
non-deprecated API gradually, on a per-release basis.

Add new macros to disable -Wdeprecated-declarations around a piece of
code, using the C99 (and GNU89) _Pragma() operator. Replace the
existing use of #pragma for this in gio, and suppress the warnings in
gvaluearray.c as well.
