Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
==============================================
* GApplication
- The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
- An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
- GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
* GDBus
- Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
- Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
situations has been improved
* GVariant
- The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
- GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
* GDateTime:
- The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
match strcmp() semantics
- In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
called to update the cached information about the local timezone
* GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
* GSettings:
- The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
* Commandline utilities are now fully translated
* Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.
* Bugs fixed:

- Remove GPeriodic; it did not receive the necessary review and
integration work to declare it stable
* GSequence:

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
==============================================
* The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
64-bit integer.
Affected functions:
g_source_get_time
g_periodic_unblock
g_get_monotonic_time
g_get_real_time
The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
discouraged.
* GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
* There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
in async GIO APIs:
g_simple_async_result_take_error
g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
* There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
g_variant_lookup
* It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
* Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
g_get_user_runtime_dir
* Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed
* Bugs fixed:
620263 Add g_clear_object, g_clear_pointer, g_clear_boxed
633075 update Project Files and sources for MSVC 2008/C89
633381 gsettings Makefile rules should handle empty list...

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
==============================================
* GApplication
- Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
- Support environment passing
* GSettings
- The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
- The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
* GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
been deprecated
* Bugs fixed:
158725 free linked list with data
626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
==============================================
* GDateTime now has full week number support.
New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
* The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
* GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
* GSettings has more complete support for ranges
New API:
g_settings_get_range
g_settings_range_check
The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
* GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
* The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
New API:
g_main_context_invoke
g_main_context_invoke_full
* The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
looking for default applications.
* On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
* A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
Bug fixes:
613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe
618737 "dispatch to context" functionality

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.12 to GLib 2.25.13
=====================================================
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
serious problems.
There have been many other improvements, however:
Build and testing:
- vastly improved test coverage
- old tests moved to the gtester framework
- gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
- cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
GVariant:
- add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
GDBus:
- perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
- add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
- improve debug output, add some extra options
- if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
explaining why
- sort property names correctly
- don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
anyway
- use effective uid/gid for credential passing
GSettings:
- add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
without mapping functions
- mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
Binding:
- improve closure support for bindings
- copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
Other:
- fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
=====================================================
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
| messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
| registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
| has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
| required (and will be along soon). |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
Build:
- cleanup automake setup
- rename configure.in to configure.ac
- various docs fixups
- move glibconfig.h to glib/
- disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace')
GSettings:
- add support for vendor override files (to change the default values
in a schema)
- change GSettingsBackend vtable
- add g_settings_reset()
- support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
GDBus:
- many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
- stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
- proper support for file descriptor passing
- new flags parameter for sending messages
- new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
- always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
- constness fixes for introspection structures
- clean ups to subtree registration API
Other:
- fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions
- GIO: don't blindly assume that SOCK_CLOEXEC is supported
- make GObject property notify freezes threadsafe
- GIO: clean up credentials passing
- GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
- GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
Bugs closed:

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
=====================================================
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
| These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
| a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
Build:
- add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
-Bsymbolic-functions
- this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
- honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
- use proper feature test macros for isnan
- use pkg-config to check for zlib
- add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
GDBus:
- hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
nobody was doing that.
- add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
outgoing messages
- change the register_object API to add a reference to the
GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
themselves
- don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
have a serial number
- better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
variable
- switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
flags
- add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
has finished running on GDBus services.
- never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
this due to the obvious race)
- remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
- emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
GVariant:
- the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
- g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
arguments and different behaviour
- g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
strings instead of utf8 strings
- G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
- the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
- additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
- improved gobject-introspection annotation
- fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
- fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
GSettings:
- improved documentation
- updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
- added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
overridden using <override>.
- added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
- lots of new tests
- add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
- add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
enums and flags in the specified .h files.
- warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
(ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
- fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
- command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
being set due to a premature free
- command line tool: bash completion support
- chain up in _finalize
- add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
post-processing
- retry with the translated or schema default value if the
GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
- schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
warn)
- peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
- schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
- schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
- fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
the keyfile
Other:
- always intern GBinding prop names
- base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
- document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
- GNode docs improvements
- improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
- fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
- annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
SystemTap)
Tests:
- Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
- improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
- improved tests for GKeyfile
- new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
- move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
- generally, really an awful lot of new tests
- don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n

620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
622124 implement flags
622127 GSettings extended key validation
622128 retry with default value for failed mapping
622294 More annotations for GVariant
622565 glib-compile-schemas fails when no schemas
622600 Fix missing prototype warning
622813 gsettings mapping & enum buglet
623142 Ensure ::new-connection runs before processing D-Bus messages
623143 Never require non-closed connections
623319 use g_parse_debug_string for dbus debug flags
623401 process enums first
623402 schema compiler reports wrong line numbers
623407 g_keyfile_settings_backend_new crashes with the key "/"
623473 zlib should be checked with pkg-config
623537 GDBusProxy has weird checking on NameOwnerChanged
623538 GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed emission for corner cases
623692 directory with file at multiple MLS levels may display empty
623720 gschema.dtd does not contain enum definitions
623770 quoting of expand_macro in gdesktopappinfo.c

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.8 to GLib 2.25.9
===================================================
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| WARNING: There have been API changes in GDBus, GSettings and |
| GApplication. Users of these APIs will need to be adapted. In |
| particular, a new release of GTK+ is required to go along with |
| this one. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
* GDBus
- Use Gio's default async implementation
- Fix proxy construction for objects with no properties
- Fix error handling in synchronous initialization

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.1 to GLib 2.23.2
===================================================
* We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
* g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
* GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
Packagers will need to adapt to this.
* Threading changes:
- The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
call.
- GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
when g_type_init() is called.
- Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
* GObject:
- Another bunch of performance work has landed
* GVariant:
- GVariantType has been merged, with the rest of the GVariant
API to follow.
* Bugs fixed:

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.22.x to GLib 2.23.0
===================================================
* GIO:
- GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
while loading or saving it.
- GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
- As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
* GObject:
- G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
interfaces to dynamic types.
* GModule:
- The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading
support.
* Bugs fixed:
601637 GUnixFDMessage should contain a GUnixFDList

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
===================================================
* Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
also uses less memory overall.
* Make g_poll available as public api
* New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
that a GError is set or unset
* g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
* g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
New functions to clean up app infos and content types
* When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
* Bugs fixed:
505361 gunixinputstream.c assumes poll() available

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.0 to GLib 2.9.1
=================================================
* Memory management
- The slice allocator is implemented [Tim Janik]
- g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to
g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
- Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
* Data structures

queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
variants [Martyn Russell]
* GObject:
- The concept of a floating initial reference has been
moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
=================================================
* Unicode support:
- The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
[Behdad Esfahbod]
- The various Unicode character predicate functions
(g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
been optimized
[Behdad]
- g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
These functions handle negative offsets now, and
going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
"stutter stepping".
[Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
* Memory management:
- Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
- All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
data structures) have been deprecated, since they
never worked as intended.
- The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
efficient and scalable implementation.
[Tim Janik, Matthias]
* Pattern matching:
- g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
unnecessary recursion.
[Tim, Matthias]
* g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
- New functions to intern strings. These are now used
by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
[Matthias]
* g_thread_foreach:
- New function to iterate over all GThreads
[Tim, Matthias]
* g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
- New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
in favor of these.
[Roger Leigh]
* g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
- These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
since they are in glib.h
[Matthias]
