For details, see bug 587482. The new api:
- Provide new _with_operation() variants of all unmount and eject methods
- Add GMountOperation::show-processes signal
- this can be used to show processes blocking an unmount operation
- Deprecate all unmount and eject methods
- Add g_drive_can_start_degraded() method
- this is to avoid auto-starting degraded drives
- Make g_drive_stop() resp. g_file_stop_mountable() take a GMountOperation
- these ops were recently added and not yet public API so it's fine
to change how they work
- Provide a way to poll mountable files, e.g. g_file_poll_mountable()
- Add some missing file attributes for mountable files
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_UNIX_DEVICE_FILE
- needed for the GDU Nautilus extensions to format a volume
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_CAN_START_DEGRADED:
- mimics g_drive_can_start_degraded()
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_CAN_POLL:
- mimics g_drive_can_poll_for_media()
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_IS_MEDIA_CHECK_AUTOMATIC
- mimics g_drive_is_media_check_automatic()
Add API for starting/stopping drives. This new API will enable
GVolumeMonitor and GVfs implementations to add support for the
following features
1. Powering down external hard disk enclosures / drives
2. Starting/stopping multi-disk devices (such as RAID/btrfs/ZFS)
3. Connecting/disconnecting iSCSI devices
4. Reacting to the user pressing e.g. the "remove drive" button on
a IBM/Lenovo Ultrabay: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ultrabay
See the bug for the corresponding GVfs and Nautilus changes.
The whole protocol name thing is pretty weird. The getprotobyname functions
seem to only specify one mapping for name <-> ids, so all families/types
must use the same values. Plus the values used for the protocols are
standardized by IANA, so are always the same.
So, we drop using names for protocols, intead introducing an enum with
a few commonly availible and used protocols.
Higher-level wrappers around GResolver. GSocketConnectable provides an
interface for synchronously or asynchronously iterating multiple
socket addresses, with GNetworkAddress and GNetworkService providing
interfaces based on hostname and SRV record resolution.
Part of #548466.
GResolver provides asynchronous (and synchronous-but-cancellable) APIs
for resolving hostnames, reverse-resolving IP addresses back to
hostnames, and resolving SRV records. Part of #548466.
Types and methods for dealing with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (and UNIX
domain socket addresses under UNIX). This does not include code for
actual socket I/O.
Originally from "gnio". Much of the code was written by Christian
Kellner, Samuel Cormier-Iijima, and Ryan Lortie.
Part of #548466.
Functions for converting between UTF-8 IDNs (Internationalized Domain
Names) and their ASCII-Compatible Encodings, plus a function to recognize
IP addresses. Part of #548466.
There are race conditions when connecting and disconnecting from the
"cancelled" signal on GCancellable which you need to do when
implementing cancellable operations. This adds helper functions that
avoid these races and mentions these races in the docs. (#572844)
Update various README files to refer to git instead of svn.
Add a README.commits that is pretty much a copy of the same file
in GTK+. Also discontinue ChangeLog files.
