Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6

==============================================

* Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use

  of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls

  to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if

  that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another

  side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add

  has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.

* A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,

  including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

* Access to quarks is now lockless

* GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

* g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

* Introspection improvements:

 - Add a boxed type for GVariantBuilder

 - Annotation fixes in GDBus, GVariant, g_base64_

Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4

==============================================

* GDBus:

 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus

   objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces

   an 'object manager' pattern:

   GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager

   These interfaces have client-side implementations:

   GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient

   And server-side implementations:

   GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer

 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes

   to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface

   descriptions in XML

* GTest:

 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark

   tests as failed

* GDesktopAppInfo

 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property

 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:

   g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),

   g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()

* GHashTable:

 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of

   large hash tables, in particular tables that are used

   to store sets.

* Unix-specific APIs:

  GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is

  meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains

  g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing

  with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop

  sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix

  signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

* Bugs fixed:

 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing

 632631 GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_new_string: assertion `g_utf8_validate (string, -1, NULL)' failed

 635694 gdbus aborting due to unauthorized socket in DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS

 642935 g_date_time_format() prints wrong value for %z and timezone -0800

 643134 g_dbus_message_copy

 644941 glib-unix: New Unix-specific API

 646013 g_hash_table_remove_all_nodes optimization

 646309 glib cannot be cross-compilled for mingw32

 646435 GTimeZone doesn't seem to be thread-safe

 646957 GIO chained calls don't work with a thread default context

 647594 README link to mailing list is broken

 647602 Cannot connect to remote message bus via TCP

 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.

 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()

 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()

 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

 648423 Support G_DEBUG=trap-warnings

 648425 GDesktopAppInfo: Add "filename" property for bindings

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:

  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...

 633685 Use g_simple_async_result_{new_,}take_error

 633686 Add g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle

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

 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError

 629274 GNetworkService does not do fallback when there is no SRV record

 631264 gsettings-tool choice/range support

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

 620710 g_get_user_data_dir() uses CSIDL_PERSONAL and not CSIDL_APPDATA

 623400 acquire context before dispatching

 627126 gsettings schema files don't get installed on FreeBSD

 627171 g_socket_new_from_fd() doesn't set the right protocol

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

Bugs closed:

 599590 glib build doesn't look for correct pkg-config

 619026 avoid warning in gutils.h when using gcc with -Wconversion

 624739 Please fix POTFILES.in

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:

 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting

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
