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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Also show-case this in the codegen example.

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.

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.

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.
