hello everyone. GLib 2.30.0 has been released. http://download.gnome.org/sources/glib/2.30/ d64c00b43409eabb89aad78501fcb1a992b002b314a4414a9bd069585cb7cdc1 glib-2.30.0.tar.xz This major release of GLib represents 1174 commits from 151 individual authors, including 35 contributors with 5 or more commits. Over a dozen companies have made a substantial contribution to this release. Countless others have contributed testing, bug reports, packaging, online support and other valuable work throughout the cycle. In addition to hundreds of bug fixes and enhancements made this cycle, the following major features were added: - GDBus has been improved by the addition of a high-level object manager and code generation facilities that make use of it. See http://davidz25.blogspot.com/2011/09/new-d-bus-features-in-glib-230.html for more information. - GLib has added an extensible TLS database where certificates and keys can be found and used, laying the foundation for integration with smart cards and other key stores. GLib now also supports HMAC hashes (which are used when implementing web technologies like OAuth). - The atomic operations have been expanded to include bit operations (and, or, xor) and so that all operations are supported on pointer-sized operands. The implementation has been made more correct and performant by way of GCC intrinsics and better use of the Interlocked API on Windows. Bitlocks now work on pointer-sized operands. - New API has been added to allow UNIX signals to be dispatched via the mainloop. Additionally, there is a new UNIX-specific API to allow race-free creation of close-on-exec pipes with a fallback on platforms where this is not possible. - GMainContext and GCancellable now use eventfd when available, instead of less efficient pipe pairs. - GApplication now supports non-single-instance applications. We had one small API break to an interface that wasn't used except from inside GLib itself: the name of the 'set_state' virtual function call on the interface of GAction changed to 'change_state' in order to avoid conflicts with the 'set_state' method on GSimpleAction. To avoid compatibility problems, those who will implement GAction going forward are suggested to assume that this feature appeared for the first time in this release of GLib. This release of GLib has had a fantastic amount of work put in by translators. Despite being one of the most difficult modules to translate, we have 100% coverage of 32 languages, including: Assamese, Basque, Brazilian Portuguese, British English, Bulgarian, Canadian English, Catalan (Valencian), Catalan, Chinese (China), Czech, Danish, French, Galician, German, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian Bokmål, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Russian, Serbian, Serbian Latin, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish. Special mention goes to the translations of Tamil and Esperanto which were both at approximately 50% last cycle and made it to 100% this cycle. 12 other languages (Chinese (Hong Kong), Chinese (Taiwan), Belarusian, Hebrew, Uighur, Finnish, Greek, Romanian, Vietnamese, Armenian, Japanese, Gujarati) are above the 80% level. Finally, Chun-wei Fan has invested a substantial effort to ensure that it is once again possible to build GLib using Visual Studio on Windows.
