g_variant_new("as", NULL); now gives an empty array of strings, for
example.
This was documented as working already, but was never actually
implemented (due to the fact that it muddies the water when considering
maybe types). It's being implemented now because its convenience to
programmers exceeds any damage done to the conceptual purity of the API.
One new GUnicodeBreak enum member. Three new GUnicodeScript members,
and one member renamed to fix a typo.
Tests, docs, and scripts are updated. PCRE update still needed.
This adds "child source" support to GSource. A child source behaves
basically like a GPollFD; when you add a source to a context, all of
its child sources are added with the same priority; when you destroy a
source, all of its child sources are destroyed; and when a child
source triggers, its parent source's dispatch function is run.
Use cases include:
- adding a GTimeoutSource to another source to cause the source to
automatically trigger after a certain timeout.
- wrapping an existing source type with a new type that has
a different callback signature
- creating a source that triggers based on different conditions
at different times.

Add some helpers for freeing a linked list along with its elements by
providing a GDestroyNotify to call on each of them.
Add a test.
Based on a patch from Cosimo Cecchi.
Timezone handling is complicated. Really complicated.
In order to simplify it a little bit, we need to expose the GTimeZone
structure.
First of all, we allow creating time zone information directly from the
offset and the DST state, and then pass it to the g_date_time_new_full()
constructor. We also need to clean up the mess that is UTC-vs.-localtime
for the other constructors.
We also allow creating a GTimeZone from the Olson zoneinfo database
names; a time zone created like this will be "floating": it will just
reference the zoneinfo file - which are mmap()'ed, kept in a cache and
refcounted. Once the GTimeZone has been associated with a GDateTime, it
will be "anchored" to it: the offset will be resolved, as well as the
DST state.

Otherwise e.g. setuid root processes can't connect to the system
bus. This was discovered when porting PolicyKit's pkexec(1) command to
a PolicyKit library using GDBus.

Remove some symbols from glib-sections.txt that gtk-doc has no idea
about.
Add proper callback typedefs for GTester (gtk-doc dislikes inline
function types).
Fix some other minor issues.
- add G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING, _BYTESTRING_ARRAY, _STRING_ARRAY
- remove g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array functions
- add g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring{,_array} functions
- remove undocumented support for deserialising arrays of objectpaths
or signature strngs using g_variant_get_strv()
- add and document new format strings '^ay', '^&ay', '^aay' and '^a&ay'
- update GApplication to use the new API
- update GSettings binding code to use the new API
- add tests
This adds static markers for dtrace, which are also usable
by systemtap. Additionally it adds a tapset for systemtap
that makes it easier to use the static markers.
These are enabled by default.
This initial set of probes is rather limited:
* allocation and free using g_malloc & co
* allocation and free using g_slice
* gquark name tracking (useful for converting quarks to strings in probes)
Notes on naming:
Its traditional with dtrace to use probe names with dashes as
delimiter (slice-alloc). Since dashes are not usable in identifiers
the C code uses double underscores (slice__alloc) which is converted
to dashes in the UI. We follow this for the shared lowlevel probe
names.
Additionally dtrace supports putting a "provider" part in the probe
names which is essentially a namespacing thing. On systemtap this
field is currently ignored (but may be implemented in the future), but
this is not really a problem since in systemtap the probes are
specified by combining the solib file and the marker name, so there
can't really be name conflicts.
For the systemtap tapset highlevel probes we instead use names that
are systemtapish with single dashes as separators.

Merge GVariant variable arguments support and put it under tests.
Also, remove the hack of the test case directly '#include'ing .c files
from glib/. Instead, create a non-installed gvariant-internal.h that
the tests can include and make the symbols in it visible on the symbol
table of the shared library. These symbols (as they are present in no
installed header files) are not part of the API of GLib.
Increase test coverage in a few other areas.
Add support for a mutex lock that consumes only one bit of storage
inside of an integer on systems that support futexes. Futex is emulated
(at a higher cost) on systems that don't have it -- but only in the
contended case.
We now allow g_thread_init(NULL) to be called after other glib calls (with
some minor limitations). This is mainly a documentation change as this
really was already possible.
We also allow g_thread_init() to be called multiple times. Only the
first call actually initializes the threading system, further calls
are ignored (but print a warning if the argument is not NULL).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606775
Previous code used g_mkstemp(). But when using
G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION, no attempt was made to ensure proper
mode and flags of the created temporary file. The visible issue was that
the file was always created with mode 0600 as opposed to using 0666.
(The invisible issue was that O_RDWR was used instead of O_WRONLY.)
This function exposes more variables than g_mkstemp() and therefor
allows more flexibility when creating temporary files.
The intended use is gio's code for g_file_replace() (see next patch)
