Explain why we say "See new_stateful()" (although it's pretty obvious).
Drop a redundant copy of the argument description in the body text.
Add a # to the GVariant type name so that we can have a nice link.

If something is nullable, it's always helpful to identify what NULL
means. Also, this is not the parameter for the .activate() vfunc, as we
take that over: rather, it is the parameter for the ::activate signal.

The base Fedora image we use for our CI does not always have an updated
Meson package to fit our requirements. Let's install Meson using
Python's pip instead.
Accurate G_HAVE_GNUC_VISIBILITY is needed to correctly
define G_GNUC_INTERNAL later on. Autotools did that,
meson currently doesn't and opts to just set
G_HAVE_GNUC_VISIBILITY to 1 for all compilers except MSVC.
This leads to MinGW GCC having G_HAVE_GNUC_VISIBILITY=1,
which results in G_GNUC_INTERNAL being defined to
__attribute__((visibility("hidden"))), which is not supported.
Because cc.compiles() does not support override_options or
anything like that, we just feed it '-Werror' as-is, since
MSVC is known as not supporting visibility attributes anyway.

This is a bit awkward. A more elegant solution would have
ignored *all* headers and then *un-ignored* some of them
if some conditions were met.
Sadly, we cannot really ignore all headers and then "unignore"
them: that's not how arrays in Meson work.

GCC has built-ins for these functions, which might give a compile-only
test an impression that the functions are actually present in the C runtime.
Use a linked test to be sure.
Specifically, both functions are missing on Windows.

The `mount_monitor` variable is only set if the boolean
`with_mount_monitor` variable is set to TRUE, but the compiler does not
know that, so it'll warn when calling `g_clear_object()` even if the
clearing operation is gated with the same boolean.
Initializing with NULL does not cost us anything, and eliminates a
conditional branch.

The g_auto macros are available only with GCC-compatible compilers on
Unix, but having __attribute__((cleanup)) is not part of our toolchain
requirements, so we shouldn't use it — even if we are building on
Unix-compatible systems.

This pollutes the reserved compiler namespace and breaks applications
trying to do their own feature detection. For instance, this falsely
detects that alloca is not a builtin on gcc:
#include <glib.h>
#if defined(__has_builtin)
# if !__has_builtin(alloca)
# error "wtf glib?"
# endif
#else
/* version-checking to determine alloca existence */
#endif
Instead, define our own g_macro__has_* versions that have the
behaviour that we need.

Some very odd systems have the functions to initialise and destroy a
struct __res_state, but apparently not to do a DNS query using it. Fix
the compilation on those systems.

Previously we were only detecting typedef\*senum\s*\{, which does not
handle the case where there is an entifier for the enum itself but
not the typedef. glib-mkenums would then attempt to read the next line
looking for a matching {, but in vain.

We are transitioning to Meson for Visual Studio builds, but since the
Visual Studio projects are still around, we ought to keep them
up-to-date (and these projects are needed to build for Visual Studio
2008, at least for x64 builds).
Adapt to the source additions and merges for building
gio-querymodules.exe and gspawn-win[32|64]-helper-console.exe.
GSocketListener can keep internal references to itself for pending
accept() calls, which mean that it can stay alive (and keep listening
on ports) even after a user drops their last reference to it. They need
to call g_socket_listener_close() explicitly to avoid that.

There's no need to unconditionally print an error message if xmllint or
json-glib-format are not found when running glib-compile-resources is
called; we only need to warn if they are not available when we need
them. To avoid spamming the build logs, we can also warn once.

The glib-compile-resources tool has hand-rolled "open a temporary file"
code paths. Since error handling is hard, let's rely on GLib API that is
meant to do that consistently for us.
Get rid of some tabs mixed with spaces while we're at it.

Similarly to how glib-compile-resources can call xmllint to eliminate
whitespace in XML files to reduce their size inside a GResource, we can
use json-glib-format to achieve the same result.
The mechanism for using json-glib-format is the same, with a separate
environment variable if we want to direct glib-compile-resources to a
version of json-glib-format that is not the one in the PATH.

Normally, the list of mounts is filtered to exclude mounts in
/run/media/$username where $username is not the current user. However,
root can access all the mounts under /run/media/, regardless of the
username — so there’s no point in filtering out those mounts.
In some cases, filtering them out is harmful. In the case of a system
service which uses GVolumeMonitor, for example, filtering them out means
the service cannot see automounted USB sticks belonging to user
sessions.

Tighten up the validation of application IDs so they are always exactly
D-Bus well-known names. This is a slight change to the accepted format,
but since anyone using the API with an application ID which was
previously valid, but which was not a valid D-Bus well-known name, would
have received an error from D-Bus when their application tried to
register on the bus, I think this break is acceptable.
It will affect any applications which have application IDs which are not
valid D-Bus well-known names, and which use the G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
flag. From a quick search in Debian Codesearch, no C applications use
that flag.
Update the documentation to use the rules from the D-Bus specification,
including the latest advice discouraging use of hyphens:
https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#message-protocol-names-bus
Update the tests:
• Add the examples from the documentation to validate them.
• Especially the venerable 7-zip.org example.
• Move a couple of tests from expected-failure to expected-success:
they are valid D-Bus well-known names even if they’re a bit weird.

- Stop using a custom thread for listening to kqueue(2) events. Instead
call kevent(2) in non blocking mode in a monitor callback. Under the
hood poll(2) is used to figure out if new events are available.
- Do not use a socketpair with a custom protocol requiring 2 supplementary
context switches per event to commicate between multiple threads. Calling
kevent(2), in non blocking mode, to add/remove events is fine from any
context.
- Add kqueue(2) events without the EV_ONESHOT flag. This removes a race
where some notifications were lost because events had to be re-added for
every new notification.
- Get rid of the global hash table and its associated lock and races. Use
the 'cookie' argument of kevent(2) to pass the associated descriptor when
registering an event.
- Fix _kh_file_appeared_cb() by properly passing a monitor instead of a
source to g_file_monitor_emit_event().
- Properly refcount sources.
- Remove a lot of abstraction making it harder to fix the remaining issues.
