This allows higher levels to have more control over resolving
(ipv4 or ipv6 for now) which allows for optimizations such
as requesting both in parallel as RFC 8305 recommends.
Currently, there isn't API to determine root path for mounts created
over bind operation (or btrfs subvolumes). This causes issues to our
volume monitors if there is multiple mounts for one device, which can
happen with libmount-based implementation currently. Let's propagate
root path from libmount over g_unix_mount_get_root_path, so we can
handle this somehow in our volume monitors.

The X-Flatpak-RenamedFrom key is used in .desktop files to identify past
names for the desktop file. It is defined to be a list of strings.
However, there was previously no correct way to retrieve a list of
strings from the GKeyFile wrapped by GDesktopAppInfo, short of
re-parsing the file with GKeyFile.
Note that doing something like:
g_strsplit (g_desktop_app_info_get_string (...), ";", -1)
is not correct: the raw value "a\;b;" represents the one-element list
["a;b"], but g_key_file_get_string() rejects the sequence "\;", and so
g_desktop_app_info_get_string() returns NULL in this case. (Of course, a
.desktop file with a semicolon in its name is a pathological case.)
Add g_desktop_app_info_get_string_list(), a trivial wrapper around
g_key_file_get_string_list(), similar to g_desktop_app_info_get_string()
and co.
The change from g_key_file_free() to g_key_file_unref() in the test is
needed because g_key_file_free() clears the contents of the keyfile.
This is fine for all the fields which are eagerly loaded and copied into
GDesktopAppInfo, but not when we want to access arbitrary stuff from the
keyfile.
There are many cases where a default TLS database is not able to be
defined within the constraints of a system. For example glib-networking
(or glib-openssl) cannot retrieve the default certificate store on iOS
or Android and need to be initialized from a cert file of certificates
bundled with the application.
Previously GStreamer was relying on a custom patch to glib-networking to
populate the default database from the file pointed to by the
CA_CERTIFICATES environment variable however the mechanism that enabled
this was recently remove from glib-networking.
Adding a more generic g_tls_backend_set_default_database() API allows
application developers to override the default database using their own
certificates as well as allowing equivalent functionality on Android/iOS
(or others) as on the default database handling Linux.

Add an app-launching function which allows standard file descriptors
to be passed to the child process.
This will be used by gnome-shell to pass systemd journal descriptors
as stdout/stderr. gnome-shell's child_setup function can then be
eliminated, which will enable use of the posix_spawn optimized
gspawn codepath for desktop app launching.
It's a synonym of G_VOLUME_IDENTIFIER_KIND_UNIX_DEVICE.
It doesn't change anything except not feeling dirty from using a wrongly
prefixed constant for the object type.
See: #182
GVfsUDisks2VolumeMonitor handles x-gvfs-hide/x-gvfs-show mount options
used to overwrite our heuristics whether the mount should be shown, or
hidden. Unfortunately, it works currently only for mounts with
corresponding fstab entries, because the options are read over
g_unix_mount_point_get_options. Let's introduce g_unix_mount_get_options
to allow reading of the options for all sort of mounts (e.g. created
over pam_mount, or manually mounted).

This is a variant of g_file_get_path() which returns a const string to
the caller, rather than transferring ownership.
I've been carrying `gs_file_get_path_cached()` in libgsystem and it
has seen a lot of use in the ostree and flatpak codebases. There are
probably others too.
I think language bindings like Python/Gjs could also use this to avoid
an extra malloc (i.e. we could transparently replace
`g_file_get_path()` with `g_file_peek_path()`.
(Originally by Colin Walters. Tweaked by Philip Withnall to update to
2.56, change the function name and drop the locking.)

Custom desktop file fields may be translated, but there is currently

In order to enrich information displayed by GApplication command line
handling when --help is invoked, 3 new methods are proposed:
. g_application_set_option_context_parameter_string
. g_application_set_option_context_summary
. g_application_set_option_context_description
Those methods interact with the GApplication's internal GOptionContext
which is created for command line parsing in g_application_parse_command_line.
(please refer to the GOptionContext class for more information about option
context, parameter string, summary and description.)
To illustrate the 3 methods, an example is provided:
. gapplication-example-cmdline4.c
Putting them in the same section causes gtk-doc to mix their properties
together in a single listing, which is confusing.
Since having them in a single section doesn’t really add anything, split
them out to one class per section.

This adds g_file_load_bytes() to make it more convenient to
load the contents of a GFile as GBytes.
It includes a special casing for gresources to increase the
chances that the GBytes directly references the embedded data
instead of copying to the heap.

It adds support for source-specific multicast IGMPv3.
Allow receiving data only from a specified source when joining
a multicast group.
g_socket_join_multicast_group_ssm can be called multiple times

Add filesystem attribute to propagate time, when the metadata for the file
in "recent:///" was last changed. This attribute is needed for sorting
recent backend files in client applications.

Add filesystem attribute to detect remote filesystems in order to
replace hardcoded filesystem types in GtkFileSystem. Set this attribute
also for GLocalFile appropriately.
Bump version to 2.49.3, so that early adopters of new API have a version
number to target.
Add a new API to allow clients to register a custom GFile implementation
handling a particular URI scheme.
This can be useful for tests, but also for cases where a different URI
scheme is desired to be used with another custom GFile backend.
As an additional cleanup, we can use this to register the "resource" URI
scheme too.

Nautilus wants to show entries in the sidebar only for removable devices.
It uses currently sort of conditions to determine which devices should be
shown. Those condition fails in some cases unfortunatelly. Lets provide
g_drive_is_removable() which uses udisks Removable property to determine
which devices should be shown. It should return true for all drives with
removable media, or flash media, or drives on usb and firewire buses.

Add a new GDtlsConnection interface, plus derived GDtlsClientConnection
and GDtlsServerConnection interfaces, for implementing Datagram TLS
support in glib-networking.
A GDtlsConnection is a GDatagramBased, so may be used as a normal
datagram socket, wrapping all datagrams from a base GDatagramBased in
DTLS segments.
Test cases are included in the implementation in glib-networking.

Add string serialisation functions for GNetworkAddress, GSocketAddress,
GUnixSocketAddress, GInetSocketAddress, GNetworkService and
GSocketConnectable. These are intended for use in debug output, not for
serialisation in network or disc protocols.
They are implemented as a new virtual method on GSocketConnectable:
g_socket_connectable_to_string().
GInetSocketAddress and GUnixSocketAddress now implement
GSocketConnectable directly to implement to_string(). Previously they
implemented it via their abstract parent class, GSocketAddress.

GDatagramBased is an interface abstracting datagram-based communications
in the style of the Berkeley sockets API. It may be contrasted to (for
example) GIOStream, which supports only streaming I/O.
GDatagramBased allows socket-like communications to be done through any
object, not just a concrete GSocket (which wraps socket()).
This adds the GDatagramBased interface, and implements it in GSocket.

Add support for receiving multiple messages with a single system call,
using recvmmsg() if available. Otherwise, fall back to looping over
g_socket_receive_message().
This adds new API, g_socket_receive_messages(), and corresponding unit
tests.

This complements the GOutputMessage struct. It will shortly be used for
adding a g_socket_receive_messages() function, but needs to be committed
first to allow some internal refactoring of GSocket.

GListStore already has a g_list_store_insert_sorted function,
which can be used to keep the list sorted according to a fixed
sort function. But if the sort function changes (as e.g. with
sort columns in a list UI), the entire list needs to be
resorted. In that case, you want g_list_store_sort().

This is meant for opaque, non-POSIX-like backends to indicate that the
URI is not persistent. Applications should look at
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_SYMLINK_TARGET for the persistent URI.
Examples of such backends could be a portal for letting sandboxed
applications access the file-system, or a database-backed storage like
Google Drive.
In these cases, the user visible file and folder names are different
from the real identifiers, used by the backend. So, a request to
create google-drive://user@gmail.com/foo/New\ File, would actually
lead to google-drive://user@gmail.com/foo/bar on the server even though
the user visible name is still "New File". Since the server-defined URI
is persistent and sanity-checked by the backend, it is recommended that
applications switch to it as soon as possible. Backends will try to
keep a mapping from "fake" to "real" URIs, but those are only on a
best effort basis. They might not be persistent or have the same
guarantees as the "real" URIs.

This can be used to query whether the task has completed, in the sense
that it has had a result set on it, and has already – or will soon –
invoke its callback function.
Notifications for this property are emitted immediately after the task’s
main callback, in the same main context as that callback. This allows
for multiple bits of code to listen for completion of the GTask, which
opens the door for blocking on cancellation of the GTask and improved
handling of ‘pending’ behaviour.
