glib-2-58 will remain the last stable GLib release series which is
buildable using autotools.
We continue to install autoconf macros for autotools-using projects
which depend on GLib; they are stable API.

This means the output (including lists of filenames) does not depend on
the order of the input files, which may matter if this tool is invoked
with a glob or some other mechanism that doesn't guarantee an order.
Previously, method and signal arguments were sorted by name, which
(assuming you don't happen to give your arguments
lexicographically-ordered names) means the generated signatures were
incorrect when there is more than 1 argument.
While sorting the methods and signals themselves (and properties, and
annotations on all these) is fine, it's easiest to not sort anything.

If a D-Bus interface was annotated with o.fd.DBus.Deprecated, then the
corresponding GObject property, in the common GInterface implemented
by the generated GDBusObjectProxies and GDBusObjectSkeletons, to
access the generated code for the D-Bus interface was not being marked
with G_PARAM_DEPRECATED, even though the gtk-doc snippet had the
'Deprecated: ' tag.
G_PARAM_DEPRECATED is older than gdbus-codegen, 2.26 and 2.30
respectively, hence it can be used unconditionally.

None of these files starts with a #! line, and they are not native
binary executables, so if a user attempts to execute them as a program,
Unix shells will run them as /bin/sh scripts. This is not going to end
well, since none of them are shell scripts (the gio bash completion
is for bash, which is not a lowest-common-denominator POSIX shell, and
in any case is designed to be sourced rather than executed).

The new python module, added with 0.46, works with Python 2 and 3 and
allows to pass a path for the interpreter to use, if the need arises.
Previously the meson build set PYTHON, used in the shebang line of
the scripts installed by glib, to the full path of the interpreter.
The new meson module doesn't expose that atm, but we should set it to
a executable name anyway, and not a full path.
Several of our tools are installed and are used by other projects to
generate code. However, there is no 'install' when projects use glib
as a subproject.
We need some way for glib to 'provide' these tools so that when some
project uses glib as a subproject, find_program('glib-mkenums') will
transparently return the glib-mkenums we just built.
Starting from Meson 0.46, this can be done with the
`meson.override_find_program()` function.
As a bonus, the Meson GNOME module will also use these
'overriden'/'provided' programs instead of looking for them in PATH.
PEP8 says that:
"Comparisons to singletons like None should always be done with is or
is not, never the equality operators."
glib uses a mix of "== None" and "is None". This patch changes all
cases to the latter.
Since it’s deprecated in favour of positional arguments, including it in
the help output is confusing.

These generate basic .c and .h files containing the GDBusInterfaceInfo
for a D-Bus introspection XML file, but no other code (no skeletons,
proxies, GObjects, etc.).
This is useful for projects who want to describe their D-Bus interfaces
using introspection XML, but who wish to implement the interfaces
manually (for various reasons, typically because the skeletons generated
by gdbus-codegen are too simplistic and limiting). Previously, these
projects would have had to write the GDBusInterfaceInfo manually, which
is painstaking and error-prone.
The new --interface-info-[body|header] options are very similar to
--[body|header], but mutually exclusive with them.

In cases where gdbus-codegen is used only for docbook generation,
the execution stops with the following error message:
`Using --header or --body requires --output`
This is because it was assumed that, in addition to the docbook
generation, the header or source code were always generated.
This patch fixes this, and the header or source code generation
is not mandatory, so the docbook can be generated separately.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791015
gdbus-codegen's options only allow a simultaneous header and source
code generation.
A `--header` and `--body` options have been added along with the
`--output` option which allow separate C header and code
generation.
These options cannot be used in addition to the old options such
as `--generate-c-code`, `--generate-docbook` or
`--output-directory`.
These options have also been added to gdbus-codegen's documentation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791015
The `outdir` and `docbook` parameters are passed to the
`DocbookCodeGenerator` constructor, but these parameters are only
used at docbook generation, which is optional.
The parameters have been removed from the class creation and added
to the `generate` method, where they are actually being used.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791015
The class that generated both C header and code has been split into
two classes. These clases are now specialized on creating the header
or the body code.
All parameters that do not belong to each class have also been
deleted, so only the necessary parameters still remain. These also
includes the header and code file descriptors, leaving only the
corresponding file descriptor necessary for each class.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791015
The generation of the C header and code preambles have been split
in order to be able to generate both files separately in the future.
The functions for generating preambles and postambles have also been
renamed following the function names used in the glib-genmarshal
rewrite, so that they stay consistent.

The optparse module is deprecated since version 2.7 and the
development continues with the argparse.
The code has been moved from optparse to argparse when parsing

`glib-genmarshal` and `glib-mkenums` use a `Color` class which
implements a number of print_* methods to print colored messages
to the standard error output.

`gdbus-codegen` has also started using that same class and methods.

Changes to gdbus-codegen to support out-of-tree builds without
environment variables set (which you can't in Meson). We now add the
build directory to the Python module search path.
In addition to code, gdbus-codegen can also generate docbook
documentation for DBus interfaces. There's no good reason why
the newly added --output-directory option shouldn't apply to
those generated files as well.

Previously, this would not work, as it would result in comparing the
order of a string and an integer. Make it work, and make 'UNRELEASED'
compare higher than other versions so it's always treated as the latest
version.
'UNRELEASED' is commonly used by maintainers to highlight new API while
it's being prototyped, until they know which version it will actually
be released in. At the time of release, they replace all 'UNRELEASED'
strings in git with the new version number.
An example of this usage is here:
d380ac6a2a (9208ee267cb05db1afd3a5c323d71e51db489447_7619_7656)https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769995
This adds a new --c-generate-autocleanup option to gdbus-codegen
which can be used to instruct gdbus-codegen about what autocleanup
definitions to emit.
Doing this unconditionally was found to interfere with existing
code out in the wild.
The new option takes an argument that can be
none, objects or all; to indicate whether to generate no
autocleanup functions, only do it for object types, or do it
for interface types as well. The default is 'objects', which
matches the unconditional behavior of gdbus-codegen on the 2.48
branch.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=763379
Some GNOME projects unconditionally work around the generated code's
lack of g_autoptr support by defining the autoptr cleanup function
themselves, which is not forward-compatible; as a result, commit
cbbcaa4 broke them. Do not define the cleanup function unless the
including app "opts in" to newer APIs via GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED.
Projects requiring compatibility with GLib < 2.49 can get a
forward-compatible g_autoptr for a generated GInterface type found in
a library, for example ExampleAnimal in the GIO tests, by declaring
and using a typedef with a distinct name outside the library's
namespace:
typedef AutoExampleAnimal ExampleAnimal;
G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC (AutoExampleAnimal, g_object_unref)
...
g_autoptr (AutoExampleAnimal) animal = NULL;
/* returns ExampleAnimal * */
animal = example_animal_proxy_new_sync (...);
/* takes ExampleAnimal * first argument */
example_animal_call_poke_sync (animal, ...);

Under C locale, open() in Python 3 sets the file encoding to ASCII.

function that hopefully won't conflict with anything.
Perform a substantial cleanup of the build system with respect to
building and installing testcases.
First, Makefile.decl has been renamed glib.mk and substantially
expanded. We intend to add more stuff here in the future, like canned
rules for mkenums, marshallers, resources, etc.
By default, tests are no longer compiled as part of 'make'. They will
be built when 'make check' is run. The old behaviour can be obtained
with --enable-always-build-tests.
--disable-modular-tests is gone (because tests are no longer built by
default). There is no longer any way to cause 'make check' to be a
no-op, but that's not very useful anyway.
A new glibtests.m4 file is introduced. Along with glib.mk, this
provides for consistent handling of --enable-installed-tests and
--enable-always-build-tests (mentioned above).
Port our various test-installing Makefiles to the new framework.
This patch substantially improves the situation in the toplevel tests/
directory. Things are now somewhat under control there. There were
some tests being built that weren't even being run and we run those now.
The long-running GObject performance tests in this directory have been
removed from 'make check' because they take too long.
As an experiment, 'make check' now runs the testcases on win32 builds,
by default. We can't run them under gtester (since it uses a pipe to
communicate with the subprocess) so just toss them in TESTS. Most of
them are passing on win32.
Things are not quite done here, but this patch is already a substantial
improvement. More to come.
Back in the far-off twentieth century, it was normal on unix
workstations for U+0060 GRAVE ACCENT to be drawn as "‛" and for U+0027
APOSTROPHE to be drawn as "’". This led to the convention of using
them as poor-man's ‛smart quotes’ in ASCII-only text.
However, "'" is now universally drawn as a vertical line, and "`" at a
45-degree angle, making them an `odd couple' when used together.
Unfortunately, there are lots of very old strings in glib, and also
lots of new strings in which people have kept up the old tradition,
perhaps entirely unaware that it used to not look stupid.
Fix this by just using 'dumb quotes' everywhere.

For a D-Bus property with name "Type" (fairly common), we used to
generate a GObject property with name "type-" and C accessors
get_type_() (to avoid clashing with the GType getter), set_type_()
(for symmetri).
However, the rules for GObject property names are fairly rigid and
specifically prohibit names ending in a dash.
Therefore change things so the chosen GObject property name is "type"
but preserve the naming rules for the C getter and setter (for the
same reasons: avoiding name clashing and symmetri).
This change does break the API of generated code (but only on the
GObject property level, the C symbols are not changed) but strictly
speaking the behavior was undefined since "type-" was an invalid
GObject property name.
