Overview of changes in GLib 2.66.7
==================================

(work by Simon McVittie and Jan Alexander Steffens) (!1933, !1943)
* Fix a silent integer truncation when calling `g_byte_array_new_take()` for
byte arrays bigger than `G_MAXUINT` (work by Krzesimir Nowak) (!1944)
* Disallow using currently-undefined D-Bus connection or server flags to prevent
forward-compatibility problems with new security-sensitive flags likely to be
released in GLib 2.68 (work by Simon McVittie) (!1945)
* Bugs fixed:
- !1933 [2.66] Fix regressions in 2.66.6 where negative gssize indicates strlen()
- !1943 Backport !1941 “gkeyfilesettingsbackend: Fix basename handling when group is unset” to glib-2-66

silent integer truncation and heap overflow problem (discovered by
Kevin Backhouse, work by Philip Withnall)
* Bugs fixed:
- !1927 Backport !1926 “Add g_memdup2()” to glib-2-66
Overview of changes in GLib 2.66.5
==================================
* Fix some issues with handling over-long (invalid) input when parsing for `GDate` (!1824)
* Don’t load GIO modules or parse other GIO environment variables when `AT_SECURE`
is set (i.e. in a setuid/setgid/setcap process). GIO has always been
documented as not being safe to use in privileged processes, but people persist
in using it unsafely, so these changes should harden things against potential
attacks at least a little. Unfortunately they break a couple of projects which
were relying on reading `DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS`, so GIO continues to read
that for setgid/setcap (but not setuid) processes. This loophole will be closed
in GLib 2.70 (see issue 2316), which should give modules 6 months to change
their behaviour. (Work by Simon McVittie and Philip Withnall)
* Fix `g_spawn()` searching `PATH` when it wasn’t meant to (work by
Simon McVittie and Thomas Haller) (!1913)
* Bugs fixed:
- giomodule: Loads GIO modules even if setuid, etc.

- GIO security hardening causing gnome-keyring to regress when session bus is provided by dbus-launch (dbus-x11)
- gthread: Destroy value after replacing it in g_private_replace()
- Backport !1821 “gdate: Limit length of dates which can be parsed as valid” to glib-2-66
- gdatetime.c: Fix MSVC builds for lack of NAN items
- Backport !1827 “Windows: fix FD_READ condition flag still set on recoverable UDP socket errors.” to glib-2-66
- Backport !1862 “gio: Ignore various environment variables when running as setuid” to glib-2-66
- Backport !1868 “gdesktopappinfo: Fix validation of XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP” to glib-2-66

- Backport !1718 “gtrace: Add G_GNUC_PRINTF annotation” to glib-2-66
- Backport !1713 “gmain: g_main_context_check() can skip updating polled FD sources” to glib-2-66
- Backport !1711 “Fix race in socketclient-slow test” to glib-2-66

- Backport !1734 “glocalfileinfo: Use a single timeout source at a time for hidden file cache” to glib-2-66
Overview of changes in GLib 2.66.2
==================================
* Important and time-critical fix to DST transitions which will happen in Europe
on 2020-10-25 on distributions which use the ‘slim’ tzdata format (which is

Overview of changes in GLib 2.61.2
==================================
* Add various new array functions (#236, #269, #373)
- `g_array_copy()`

- `g_array_binary_search()`
* Add `g_assert_finalize_object()` helper function for writing tests (#488)
* Rework how D-Bus connections are closed/unreffed when `g_test_dbus_down()` is
called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
rather than silently leaking. (#787)
* Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
* Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
* Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
third-party code should now be using
`GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED}` to control symbol usage (!871)
* Improve support for running `ninja test` when GLib is built statically (#1648)

GLib's move to meson from autotools means we are effectively starting
from scratch with non-linux build fixes. Support for python 2 has
also been dropped (given that meson requires python 3). I replaced
sysutils/gio-fam with a build option.
The full lengthy list of changes is available from:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/tags/2.60.2
Some highlights:
* Improve network status detection with NetworkManager (!781)
* Add async GIO API: g_file_query_default_handler_async(), g_app_info_launch_uris_async() (#1249, #1347)
* Add overlay support to g_resources_get_info(). (#1445)
* Add writev() and writev_all() APIs to GOutputStream and GPollableOutputStream,
and provide implementations of them for many subclasses. (#1431)
* Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
* Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
`g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
* Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489+* Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
(!196)
* Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).

Performing substitutions during post-patch breaks tools such as mkpatches,
making it very difficult to regenerate correct patches after making changes,
and often leading to substituted string replacements being committed.

glib-genmarshal and glib-menums have been ported to python. To keep
glib2 a python-free zone, these have been moved with gdbus-codegen
to py-glib2-tools.
Packages needing one of those tools to build can include
devel/glib2/buildtools.mk
The licence has been changed from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv2.1+.
A full changelog is available at:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/tree/NEWS?h=2.54.1
Highlights include:
* OS X implementations of GContentType and GAppInfo have been added
* Memory leak fixes
* Minimal support for UUIDs has been added
* A new file attribute, G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_RECENT_MODIFIED has been added
to improve sorting of recent files
* glib-compile-resources grew a --generate-phony-targets flag
* GLib now installs a valgrind suppressions file for GLib and GIO
* glib-genmarshal and glib-mkenums have gained --output options
for better build system integration
* New API: g_utf8_make_valid

- grew a "gio" tool for the equivalent of ls, mv, mount, which also
builds on Windows. "gio tree" is quite nice.

symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
This release corrects only this problem.
Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
==================================
* We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
* New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.
* other fixes

Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
==================================
* The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
* The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
have seen major improvements.
The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
files appear.
The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
* The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
you use the --strict option.
* The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
* GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
* The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
default handlers for a generic supertype.
* Bug fixes:
627285 inotify file monitor hardwired delay

Highlights from the release notes:
* Don't redefine typedefs to avoid build problems on OpenBSD
* Improve the default application algorithm
* Bump the number of children a GType can have
* GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
* many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
default in the next cycle.
* new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
* new GTask:completed property
* use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()
* GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
effective busy state.
* new GSimpleIOStream class to construct a GIOStream from an arbitrary
GInputStream and GOutputStream
* GApplication: new API for marking 'busy' state according to the value
of a boolean property on another object
* GOptionGroup: add binding support (boxed type, annotation fixes, etc.)
* GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
* g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.
* GListModel is a new interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.
* GListStore is a GSequence-based implementation of GListModel.
* Support thread names on OS X
* g_simple_action_set_state_hint: New function to set the state hint
of GSimpleActions
* g_win32_check_windows_version: New function to check Windows version
* g_settings_schema_list_children and g_settings_schema_key_get_name
* add g_set_object() convenience function
* GNetworkMonitor: check if NM is not running and don't crash
* fix some races with g_mkdir_with_parents
* fix some warnings in MSVC
* avoid use of G_STRLOC in G_OBJECT_WARN_INVALID_PSPEC in order to save
on static strings
* fix some content type vs. mime issues
* documentation improvements
* GSocket: avoid unnecessary g_socket_wait_condition() for blocking sockets
* Implement GContentType on OSX
* New function: g_strv_contains
* New function: g_network_address_new_loopback
* New function: g_socket_send_messages
* A new GNetworkMonitor implementation using NetworkManager provides
more detailed connectivity information
* GQueue now accepts NULL as a sibling in g_queue_insert_before() and
g_queue_insert_after()
* Need to disable SSLv3 in glib-networking
* GObject gained a debug option to provide instance counts. To use it,
set GOBJECT_DEBUG=instance-count and call g_type_get_instance_count().
* GOption now has a strict POSIX mode in which it stops parsing arguments
as soon as a non-option argument is encountered.
* ... and many other bug fixes.
* Many translations updated.
