Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
==============================================
* GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
moved to GtkApplication.
* the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
* lots of documentation improvements
* bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
* the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
* g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
* new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
* desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
* gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
* Bugs fixed:
643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
664699 glib: documentation fixes
665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no

Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
==============================================
* EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
There have also been many related improvements to action group
functionality.
These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
types of menubars.
* GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
through an idle on the context.
* Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
fixes here and there.
* Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
API available outside GLib
* GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple
connections
* Bugs fixed:

* glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
* EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish

* Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
* GDBus:
- fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
- thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
- fixes for exit-on-close functionality
* Deprecations:
- add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
- don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
* docs
- tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
* GIO:
- GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
- various GIO file and stream fixes
- improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
=================================================
This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
* Major changes to threading and synchronisation
- threading is now always enabled in GLib
- support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
- a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
- libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
required (and has been deprecated)
- GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
- new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
without explicit initialisation.
- GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
- GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
deprecated.
- GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
- removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
- use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
(Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
- leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
have been fixed
- simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
and ability to manipulate the stack size.
- GThread is now a refcounted type
- other implementation details changed
* Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
deprecated/ directory.
* New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
* GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
platform over a year ago).
* It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
"ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
* The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
* Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
(valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
* GApplication
- add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
- don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
quit logic)
* Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
* Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
* some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
in a multi-threaded program
* Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
* pkg-config files:
- drop -uninstalled variants
- remove gobject dependency on gthread
* New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
* SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
* Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
* GDBus:
- many code generation updates and improvements
- some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
* GVariant:
- new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
- substantial docs improvements/clarifications
* GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
* mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
instead of mtab
* new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
* use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
* GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
* error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
* many docs updates
* Partial list of bugs closed:
70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

================================================
* GDateTime is now respecting LC_TIME when formatting
* GTimeZoneMonitor has been removed again
* A new API for wallclock functionality has been added:

Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.14 to 2.29.16

* GTlsDatabase: an abstract class that provides support
or certificate and key lookup. An implementation will
be provided in glib-networking
* GHmac: Support or HMAC digests
* Misc new API:
- g_ptr_array_add_full: creates a GPtrArray with
a preallocated size and a destroy function
- g_desktop_app_info_get_show_in: checks if a GDesktopAppInfo
should be shown in a given desktop environment
- g_mkdtemp, g_mkdtemp_full, g_dir_make_tmp: create
temporary directories
