This is a convenience method for creating a GNetworkAddress which is
guaranteed to return IPv4 and IPv6 loopback addresses. The program
cannot guarantee that 'localhost' will resolve to both types of
address, so programs which wish to connect to a local service over
either IPv4 or IPv6 must currently manually create an IPv4 and another
IPv6 socket, and detect which of the two are working. This new API
allows the existing GSocketConnectable machinery to be used to
automate that.
Based on a patch from Philip Withnall.

This function adds a single main option entry to be handeled by
GApplication. The option entry has it arg_data field set to NULL
and will be added to the applications packed_options.
The rationale for this is that bindings will be able to add
command line options even when they can't use the un-boxed struct
GOptionEntry.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727455
We don't use this for anything inside of GApplication yet, but Gtk is
about to start using it to find various bits of the application (such as
its menus, icons, etc.).
By default, we form the base path from the application ID to end up with
the familiar /org/example/app style.

Used for the commonly used case (in signal emission) where we
initialize and set a GValue for an instance
Includes a fast-path for GObject
Overall makes it 6 times faster than the previous combination
of g_value_init + g_value_set_instance
Makes signal emission around 10% faster

- GSubprocessLauncher exists since 2.40, not 2.36
- more logical order for g_markup functions
- fix short description of GMarkup
- GMarkupParser: specify that some parameters are NULL-terminated.
- g_string_new (NULL); is possible.
- other trivial fixes.

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;

Add a new function, g_str_to_ascii() that does locale-dependent ASCII
transliteration of UTF-8 strings.
This function works off of an internal database. We get the data out of
the localedata shipped with glibc, which seems to be just about the best
source of locale-sensitive transliteration information available
anywhere.
We include a update script with this commit that's not used by anything
at all -- it will just sit in git. It is intended to be run manually
from time to time.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710142
In addition to the standard "192.168.1.1" format, there are numerous
legacy IPv4 address formats (such as "192.168.257",
"0xc0.0xa8.0x01.0x01", "0300.0250.0001.0001", "3232235777", and
"0xc0a80101"). However, none of these forms are ever used any more
except in phishing attempts. GLib wasn't supposed to be accepting
these addresses (neither g_hostname_is_ip_address() nor
g_inet_address_new_from_string() recognizes them), but getaddrinfo()
accepts them, and so the parts of gio that use getaddrinfo()
accidentally did accept those formats.
Fix GNetworkAddress and GResolver to reject these address formats.

Since all element markup is now gone from the doc comments,
we can turn off the gtk-doc sgml mode, which means that from
now on, docbook markup is no longer allowed in doc comments.
To make this possible, we have to replace all remaining
entities in doc comments by their replacement text, & -> &
and so on.
Add support for parsing command line options with GApplication.
You can add GOptionGroup and GOptionEntry using two new APIs:
g_application_add_option_group() and
g_application_add_main_option_entries().
Also add a "handle-local-options" signal that allows handling of
commandline arguments in the local process without having to override
local_command_line.
As a special feature, you can have a %NULL @arg_data in a GOptionEntry
which will cause the argument to be stored in a GVariantDict. This
dictionary is available for inspection and modification by the
"handle-local-options" signal and can be forwarded to the primary
instance in cases of command line invocation (where it can be fetched
using g_application_command_line_get_options()).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721977
Slightly expand on the documentation about casting varargs when
constructing GVariants, and link to it from all the functions where it’s
a necessary consideration.
Add an example of passing flags to a ‘t’ type variable (guint64).
Assuming the flags enum does not have many members, the flag variable
will be 32 bits wide, and needs an explicit cast to be passed into
g_variant_new() as a 64-bit value.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=712837
This returns the command line in GLib filename encoding format (ie:
UTF-8) for use with g_option_context_parse_strv().
This will allow parsing of Unicode commandline arguments on Windows,
even if the characters in those arguments fall outside of the range of
the system codepage.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722025
Add g_option_context_parse_strv() that obeys the normal memory conventions for
dealing with a strv instead of assuming that we're dealing with the 'argv'
parameter to main().
This will help for using GOptionContext with GApplication.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721947
This was a feature intended from the very beginning that somehow never
got written. It's a way to replace these sort of error messages out of
the GVariant parser:
1-2,10-15:unable to find a common type
with something in the style of the Vala compiler:
unable to find a common type:
[1, 2, 3, 'str']
^ ^^^^^
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=715028
Most GErrors, such as GSomethingError, have a function to get
their quark that looks like g_something_error_quark(),
so bindings (such as gtkmm) would expect GVariantParseError
to have g_variant_parse_error_quark(). Instead this had
g_variant_parser_get_error_quark().
This deprecates the old function and adds the correct one,
making life easier for gtkmm (and maybe others).

This is really just a very crude and limited conditional breakpoint.
Update the documentation to explain conditional breakpoints in
gdb instead. Also, remove the link to refdbg, which appears dead.

g_test_set_nonfatal_assertions() was a no-op, because
g_assertion_message() wasn't actually checking the
test_nonfatal_assertions flag. Fix that and add a test.
Also, g_test_set_nonfatal_assertions() has to set test_mode_fatal to
FALSE as well, or else a failed assertion will cause the test program
to abort at the end of the failed test.
Also, belatedly add this and the new g_assert_* methods to the docs.

Since the initial addition of BeOS support in 1999, there has only
been one update to it (in 2005, and it wasn't even very big). GLib is
known to not currently build on Haiku (or presumably actual BeOS)
without additional patching, and the fact that there isn't a single
G_OS_BEOS check in gio/ is suspicious.
Additionally, other than the GModule implementation, all of the
existing G_OS_BEOS checks are either (a) "G_OS_UNIX || G_OS_BEOS", or
(b) random minor POSIXy tweaks (include this header file rather than
that one, etc), suggesting that if we were going to support Haiku, it
would probably be simpler to treat it as a special kind of G_OS_UNIX
(as we do with Mac OS X) rather than as its own completely different
thing.
So, kill G_OS_BEOS.

Add g_settings_schema_has_key() and _get_range(), _range_check(),
_get_value_type(), _get_default_value() methods on GSettingsSchemaKey.
Deprecate the equivalent APIs on GSettings.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683017
Add two new APIs: g_settings_get_user_value() and
g_settings_get_default_value(). Together, these should allow the
inspection of all interesting cases of "is this key set?" and "what
would happen if I reset this key?"
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668233
g_settings_list_schemas() and g_settings_list_relocatable_schemas() are
now deprecated.
This will allow listing off schemas on non-default sources and is a
better fit with the new direction the API is going.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680838
Add an API to read the summary and description from the .xml schema
files.
This will be used by dconf-editor and gnome-tweak-tool.
This API is a bit heavy -- it parses the XML and builds a table. It
also loads gettext domains for translation. It only does these things
if it is used, however, so it will not impact normal applications.
We store the summary/description in a pair of hash tables on the schema
source (which we have a backref to as of a few commits ago). We can't
use a global table because people might want to request summary and
description from non-default sources. We don't want to use per-schema
tables because we'd have to reparse the directory every time (since we
cannot guess which file a schema may have been in).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668232
Take this private API and make it public along with a boxed type and
ref/unref functions.
Future commits will add accessors with new functionality and some that
allow us to deprecate functions on GSettings itself (such as
g_settings_get_range).

This indicates whether the thumbnail (given by G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_THUMBNAIL_PATH)
is valid — i.e. to represent the file in its current state. If
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_THUMBNAIL_IS_VALID is FALSE (for a normal _or_ failed
thumbnail) it means the file has changed since the thumbnail was generated, and
the thumbnail is out of date.
Part of checking thumbnail validity (by the spec) involves parsing
headers out of the thumbnail .png so we include some (small) code to do
that in a separate file. We will likely want to copy this code to gvfs
to do the same for GVfsFile.
Heavily based on a patch from Philip Withnall <philip.withnall@collabora.co.uk>
who suggested the feature and designed the API.

There are a number of nice things this class brings:
0) Has a race-free termination API on all platforms (on UNIX, calls to
kill() and waitpid() are coordinated as not to cause problems).
1) Operates in terms of G{Input,Output}Stream, not file descriptors
2) Standard GIO-style async API for wait() with cancellation
3) Makes some simple cases easy, like synchronously spawning a
process with an argument list
4) Makes hard cases possible, like asynchronously running a process
with stdout/stderr merged, output directly to a file path

This is essentially a commandline implementation of the client-side of
the org.freedesktop.Application D-Bus interface.

Add a pair of functions to make it easier to do simple string matching.
This will be useful for use with things like GtkSearchBar and will also
be the basis of the searching done by the (soon to appear)
g_desktop_app_info_search()

A counterpart for parsing of detailed actions into (name, target) pairs,
this new function prints them back.
We also add a new function to check for validity of action names. Only
valid action names are allowed when printing. Parsing accepts _some_
invalid names for backwards compatibility.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704157
For some time, the desktop file specification has supported "additional
application actions". This is intended to allow for additional methods
of starting an app, such as a mail client having a "Compose New Message"
action that brings up the compose window instead of the folder list.
This patch adds support for this with a relatively minimal API.
In the case that the application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable,
desktop actions are translated into GActions that have been added to the
application with g_action_map_add_action(). This more or less closes
the loop on being able to activate an application with an action
invocation (instead of 'activate').
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664444
Add a new type of GAction that represents the value of a property on an
object. As an example, this might be used on the "visible-child-name"
property of a GtkStack.
