GLib 2.25.9 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/glib/2.25/ http://download.gnome.org/sources/glib/2.25/ e1bef7e7b669e51b8117a3d60a22c86d68eb6cfaf178f9d008f0cc79e1ca436e glib-2.25.9.tar.bz2 5d98046edac2a0ec5f12b4a4c87f7b74fcd05a5de7b17e1d93d1514e6bb16bfd glib-2.25.9.tar.gz A development release leading to GLib 2.26. Notes: * This is unstable development release. While it has had a bit of testing, there are certainly plenty of bugs remaining to be found. This release should not be used in production. * Installing this version will overwrite your existing copy of GLib 2.24. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GLib 2.24. * GLib 2.26 will be source and binary compatible with the GLib 2.24 series; however, the new API additions in GLib 2.25.x are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibilities between this release and the final 2.26 release. * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org. About GLib ========== GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis for projects such as GTK+ and GNOME. It provides data structure handling for C, portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality as an event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an object system. More information about GLib is available at: http://www.gtk.org/ An installation guide for the GTK+ libraries, including GLib, can be found at: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-building.html 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 - Do not dispatch calls to unregistered objects - Add _with_closures alternative functions - Allow constructing GDBusProxy with well-known names - Remove GType parameters from GDBusProxy constructors - Nuke g_bus_watch_proxy API - Add --xml to gdbus-tool to print raw introspected XML * GSettings - schema file format change: store (default, options) in gvdb - Add g_settings_sync() - Add support for enums and ranges - 'context' support has been replaced by direct use of GSettingsBackend * GApplication - Switch to using variants for timestamps - Use GInitable * GObject - Introduce g_object_notify_by_pspec - Add GBinding - The GVariant gtype G_TYPE_VARIANT was changed from boxed to fundamental. We believe there were no existing users of the boxed type, so this should not cause any applications to break. * Test framework - Add package and version to the test report XML - Use optparse to parse gtester-report commandline - Add subunit support to gtester-report - Prevent division by zero if no tests * Bugs fixed: 621782 Crash using gbinding 619945 GConverterOutputStream triggers assertion and corrupts data 621319 more leaked GVariants in GSettings 621168 GKeyFile memory leak on Windows platform 621002 Switch to using variants for timestamps, split out signals 620953 tiny docs addition 618904 Lies in gunixmounts documentation 621702 Correctly initialize GError 611778 minor cleanup of gtester-report 621213 GDBusProxy and well-known names 621034 Rewrite apps test to ensure children are killed 620954 gapplication gvariant simplifications 611869 add subunit out feature to gtester-report 621119 GDBusProxy and objects with no properties 620990 Use Gio's default async implementation again 620952 g_application_register_with_data is an ugly API 621252 GSettings leaks context 618715 fork() in GSettings test cases is problematic 618715 621905 Assume a ref when doing async work 621266 GSettings "context" clarification * Translation updates: Chinese Thanks to all contributors: Javier Jardón Christian Persch Colin Walters Juan A.
