This is a development release leading to GLib 2.26.
Lots of breaks in GDBus, but I think we're mostly done with those.
Looking forward, things should be pretty stable there. GSettings too.
We still expect some very major changes to GApplication, which will
probably land in 2.25.13.
Here's the part that I copy/paste from last time:
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 2.25.11 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
617483 Credentials passing
622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property
623293 vendor override files
623810 Message serialization bug
623815 Don't check sender for GDBusProxy objects where name is not set
624473 GDBusSubtreeIntrospectFunc return type
624483 GDBusSubtreeEnumerateFunc clarification
624484 GDBusSubtreeDispatchFunc clarification
624754 gdbusaddress.c missing sys/wait.h
624968 div by zero in g_malloc_n family
624991 GSettings mapping for G_TYPE_STRV
625383 Add missing GI annotations
