It will be useful to document the major decisions which affect the whole
of GLib in one centralised, easily-greppable file, otherwise they will
get lost forever in Bugzilla.
This file should contain a brief explanation of the decision and its
rationale, plus a link to further discussion (e.g. on a mailing list or
bug report).
This contains an initial discussion about use of compiler attributes in
GLib.

GDummyTlsConnection didn't implement the "interaction" property,
meaning you'd get warnings if you tried to set it while creating a
GTlsConnection when using the dummy backend. (Of course, trying to
create the GTlsConnection will fail anyway, but it ought to fail
without hitting any g_warnings.)
On initialisation, GObject guarantees to zero-fill
class/object/interface structures. Document this so people don’t spend
forever writing:
my_object->priv->some_member = NULL;
my_object->priv->some_other_member = NULL;

It was previously possible for GThreadedResolver to return an empty list
and no error in response to a g_resolver_lookup_by_name() call, if it
happened that all the addresses returned by getaddrinfo() could not be
converted from native addresses to GSocketAddresses.
Fix that by setting a G_RESOLVER_ERROR_NOT_FOUND if the returned list is
empty.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728776
The documentation previously wasn’t clear about whether the GResolver
methods could return an empty list and no error. On balance, this seems
like a bad idea, and GResolver should commit to always return a
non-empty list, or an error (which should be G_RESOLVER_ERROR_NOT_FOUND
if the list would otherwise be empty).

ddf82a25 removed the use of non-literal format strings from
gthreadedresolver.c, but left the "#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored
-Wformat-nonliteral" behind.
These did show up in the html. Since symbol names are checked for a
trailing plural s when generating the docs, the links stay functional
after removing these comments.

The block size wasn’t configured before, so calling g_hmac_new() with
G_CHECKSUM_SHA512 would hit a g_assert_not_reached() and explode.
Implement G_CHECKSUM_SHA512 and add unit tests for HMACs with SHA-256
and SHA-512 using the test vectors from RFC 4868.

Redo the code for type-based selection of applications (all,
recommended, default, fallback) based on the new DesktopFileDir
structures that we introduced last cycle.
At the same time, we expand the functionality to add support for the new
features of the specification:
- moving ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list to ~/.config/
- per-desktop default applications (via XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP)
- sysadmin customisation of defaults (via /etc/xdg/mimeapps.list)
- deprecation of the old defaults.list, favouring the use of
/usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list (or gnome-mimeapps.list) to
accomplish the same
We modify the mimeapps testcase to check for mimeapps.list having been
created in XDG_CONFIG_HOME instead of XDG_DATA_HOME.
The modification is a net reduction of code (due to less duplication in
bookkeeping). It is also an increase in performance and reduction in
memory consumption (due to simplified data structures). Finally, it
removes the stat-based timestamp checking in favour of the
GFileMonitor-based approach that was already being used in the
implementation of DesktopFileDir (in order to know if we had to rescan
the desktop files themselves).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728040
We currently assume that setting an application as the default will take
it to the front of the list of supported applications for a given type,
but this is not necessarily true.
Check instead that the application is actually set as default.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728040
Set XDG_DATA_DIRS to make sure we don't use /usr/share from the
appmonitor test. We will soon throw a warning if we find defaults.list,
so make sure we don't open ourselves up to that if there is one on the
system.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728040
The desktop file for myapp3 didn't declare support for image/png, but
the testcase expects it to be recommended on the basis of it being the
default app according to defaults.list.
This will not work in the future -- we will only list apps that actually
support the filetype in question, unless they've been explicitly added
as associations.

On OpenBSD, libintl is installed under /usr/local/lib. When configure
checks unset LDFLAGS, LIBS should also be unset otherwise we end up with
-lintl which cannot be found resulting to the compile check to fail.

The app launch context may just not support startup notification,
in which case, g_app_launch_context_get_startup_notify_id() will
return NULL.
Failure to take this into account leads to criticals like this:
gnome-session[8489]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_variant_new_take_string: assertion 'string != NULL' failed
gnome-session[8489]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_variant_new_variant: assertion 'value != NULL' failed
gnome-session[8489]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_variant_get_type: assertion 'value != NULL' failed
gnome-session[8489]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_variant_type_is_subtype_of: assertion 'g_variant_type_check (type)' failed
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728066
There's no reason to check the length of @str in g_str_has_prefix(),
since if it's shorter than @prefix, the strncmp() will fail anyway.
And besides making the function less efficient, it also breaks code
like:
if (buf->len >=3 && g_str_has_prefix (buf->data, "foo"))
...
which really looks like it ought to work whether buf->data is
nul-terminated or not.

Since the type system does not support reloading its data and assumes
that libgobject remains loaded for the lifetime of the process, we
should link libgobject with a flag indicating that it can't be unloaded.

Add G_DBUS_ERROR codes for:
* org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownObject
* org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownInterface
* org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownProperty
* org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.PropertyReadOnly
These were discussed on the dbus mailing list
and introduced in the following libdbus commit:

g_tls_certificate_list_new_from_file() was supposed to ignore non-PEM
content, but it accidentally required that there not be anything after
the last certificate. Fix that.
