The main rationale for adding it was to avoid having gnome-shell
mmap'ing /etc/localtime once a second. However, we can just as easily
run inotify there, and given no one else was clamoring for a way to
detect when the time zone changes, I don't see a need for public API
here - at least not yet.
In the bigger picture, I just don't believe that the vast majority of
applications are going to go out of their way to instantiate and keep
around a random GTimeZoneMonitor class. And if they do, it's has the
side effect that for other bits of code in the process, local GDateTime
instances may start varying again!
So, if code can't rely on local GDateTime instances being in a
consistent state anyways, let's just do that always. The
documentation now says that this is the case. Applications have
always been able to work in a consistent local time zone by
instantiating a zone and then using it for GDateTime constructors.
We fix the "gnome-shell stats /etc/localtime once a second" issue by
using timerfd (in glib) and inotify (in gnome-shell).

At the same time, also add g_mkdtemp_full and g_dir_make_tmp
variants. The patch also unifies the unique-name-generating
code for all variants of mkstemp and mkdtemp and adds tests
for the new functions.
Based on patches by Paolo Bonzini,

This implements g_hmac_xxx() functionality using the standard checksum
functions supported by glib.
HMAC is a secure way to hash a key and a password. Many other
approaches fraught with append and prepend issues.
Includes test cases defined in relevant RFCs

The implementation of GValue is not public or documented. When
allocated on the stack, initializing a GValue is usually done as
documented with:
GValue value = { 0, };
There is lot code around (including WebKit) that added all the missing
fields, resulting in this ugly and non-obvious:
GValue value = { 0, { { 0 } } };
However, this doesn't play nice with -Wmissing-field-initializers for
example. Thus, G_VALUE_INIT.

The database is an abstract object implemented by the various TLS
backends, which is used by GTlsConnection to lookup certificates
and keys, as well as verify certificate chains.
Also add GTlsInteraction, which can be used to prompt the user
for a password or PIN (used with the database).

Also add convenience _with_unix_fd_list variants to GDBusConnection,
GDBusProxy and GDBusMethodInvocation types to easily support this.

This is possible now that we have better support for object path
arrays, see
http://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/commit/?id=19878998bc386db78614f1c92ff8524a81479c7b
Note that this breaks the ABI of generated code but since
gdbus-codegen(1) has never yet been in a stable GLib release, this is
fine.

This commit changes GLib size units policy. We now prefer SI units and
allow for use of proper IEC units where desired.
g_format_size_for_display() which incorrectly mixed IEC units with SI
suffixes is left unmodified, but has been deprecated.
g_format_size() has been introduced which uses SI units and suffixes.
g_format_size_full() has also been added which takes a flags argument to
allow for use of IEC units (with correct suffixes). It also allows for
a "long format" output which includes the total number of bytes. For
example: "238.5 MB (238,472,938 bytes)".
Add G_VARIANT_TYPE_OBJECT_PATH_ARRAY along with accessor functions
g_variant_new_objv, g_variant_get_objv and g_variant_dup_objv. Also add
support for '^ao' and '^a&o' format strings for g_variant_new() and
g_variant_get().

This function implements the following logic:
if (g_variant_is_floating (value))
g_variant_ref_sink (value);
which is used for consuming the return value of callbacks that may or
may not return floating references.
This patch also replaces a few instances of the above code with the new
function (GSettings, GDBus) and lifts a long-standing restriction on the
use of floating values as the return value for signal handlers by
improving g_value_take_variant().

The function can be used to let regex compile non-NUL-terminated
strings without redesigning the way the pattern is stored in GRegex
objects and retrieved with g_regex_get_pattern.

This commit represents an API break to GAction in the following ways:
- the 'set_state' entry in the GActionInterface vtable has been
renamed to 'change_state'. The number and order of vtable items has
not otherwise changed.
- g_action_set_state() has been renamed to g_action_change_state() to
match the updated vtable entry.
- the "state" property of the GAction interface has been changed to
read-only to reflect the fact that g_action_set_state() no longer
exists.
- GSimpleActionClass has been hidden. GSimpleAction can no longer be
subclassed.
>> Rationale
g_action_set_state() has never been a true setter in the sense that
calling it will update the value of the "state" property. It has always
been closer to "request 'state' to be changed to this value" with
semantics defined by the implementor of the interface. This is why the
equivalent method in GActionGroup had its name changed from 'set' to
'change'. This change makes the two interfaces more consistent and
removes any implication about the effect that calling set_state() should
have on the 'state' property.
>> Impact
This incompatible API break was undertaken only because I strongly
suspect that it will go entirely unnoticed. If the break actually
affects anybody, then we will accommodate them (possibly going as far as
to revert this commit entirely).
The virtual table change only impacts implementors of GAction. I
strongly suspect that this is nobody (except for GSimpleAction).
The hiding of GSimpleActionClass only impacts impacts subclasses of
GSimpleAction. I strongly suspect that none of these exist.
The changing of the property to be read-only only affects people who
were trying to change the state by using GObject properties. I strongly
suspect that this is nobody at all.
The removal of the g_action_set_state() call is the most dangerous, but
I still suspect that it will impact nobody outside of GLib. If anybody
is impacted by this change then, at their request, I will reintroduce
the API as a deprecated alias for g_action_change_state().
Rather than having the gtk-doc build machinery have a list of header
files to exclude, change the GLib build to dump a list of public
header files generated from the maintained Makefile.am files for
each of glib/, gobject/, gio/.
Also, for glib, always install glib-unix.h, even on non-Unix
platforms, for the same reason we install gwin32.h even on Unix.
