Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.16 to GLib 2.25.17
=====================================================
The reduction of #include abuse that was made during the last release
had the side-effect of completely breaking the build when compiling
against the system-installed pcre library (see bug #629971). This
release fixes that.
The Portuguese translation has also been updated.
Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.15 to GLib 2.25.16
=====================================================
GApplication:
GApplication, GAction and related classes have been removed from this
release of glib. There will -not- be a replacement for 2.26.0.
Build:
- massive restructuring to reduce #include abuse
- tweaks to silence some harmless compiler warnings
- rename gschema-compile.c to glib-compile-schemas.c
- Windows fixes
- fix building with zlib < 1.2.4 on win32
GDateTime:
- better msgctxt for translating month and weekday names
- API is changed quite a lot, implementation is improved
- GTimeZone is now exposed
GObject:
- make ordering for overridden interface properties consistent
- ->priv structures are limited to 64k but this was not documented,
and exceeding this limit produced bad results. Add docs and enforce
the limit properly.
- add g_object_class_install_properties() to install multiple
properties in one go
- improve debugging output for GValue containing G_TYPE_STRV
GIO:
- fix priority sorting of GIO extensions
- add GCredentials support on FreeBSD
- fix support for IPv6 addresses in URI parsing functions
- GSocketClient fixes for when g_socket_connect succeeds immediately
- clarify string encoding for GFile constructors in docs
- new functions g_data_input_stream_read_upto{,async,finish}
- tweak confusing documentation for g_output_stream_write()
GDBus:
- GDBusMessage can now be locked and copied (like in libdbus)
- GDBusConnection filter function API has changed again
- GDBusServer: ::new-connection now declares if the connection was claimed
- add a partial workaround for GObject bug 627724.
- very many memory leaks fixed
GVariant:
- check for size == 0 in g_variant_get_bytestring to avoid a crash
when attempting to get_bytestring() from an empty array
- improve gobject-introspection annotations
GSettings:
- add GSettings Windows registry backend
- some internal tweaks to the backend API
- remove g_settings_list_items
- add g_settings_list_children and _list_keys to replace it
- add schema compiler restrictions for dealing with lists
- don't automatically emit value changed signals on writability
changes
Other:
- constify the 'parser' vtable param to g_markup_parse_context_push()
- plug many memory leaks in test cases
Bugs closed:
50076 Time API to go with date API
584284 g_data_input_stream_read_until_async different from sync version
624546 Modification of GDBusMessage in filter function
626919 Let g_object_class_install_property() return the installed GParamSpec*

629251 g_socket_client_async_connect_complete: assertion failed
629259 Failed to connect to "::1"
629328 g_markup_parse_context_push doesn't respect const structs

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.14 to GLib 2.25.15
=====================================================
* GIO
- Memory leak fixes
- The GZip(De}Compressor can now process header information
- Support for network proxies has been added, with the GProxy
interface and the gio-proxy-resolver extension point. GIO
includes SOCKSv4 and SOCKSv5 implementations, and libproxy
is also going to provide an implementation of this extension
point.
- There are GAction and GActionGroup interfaces now, which will
be used in GApplication in the near future.
* GObject
- There are now convenience macros for defining boxed and
pointer types
* GDBus
- Memory leak fixes
- GDBusProxy for well-known names can now auto-restart
the service if the name owner disapperas
- Filter functions are now allowed to modify messages
* GLib
- GDateTime is a replacement for GDate that supports time
and timezone information.

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

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

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

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 |
