Overview of changes in GLib 2.75.3, 2023-02-13
==============================================
* Drop the implementation of GSlice, and make the API use the system `malloc()`
internally (#1079) (based on investigation work by multiple people)
* Use a thread-spawning thread to keep thread scheduler settings consistent;
fixes GThreadPool critical warnings due to failing to set scheduler settings
in some situations (#2769, work by Sebastian Dröge and others)
* GIR annotation improvements for multiple APIs (#2827, #2894, #2895, #2897,
!3198, !3234, !3236, !3238, !3245, !3266, work by multiple people)
* Optimise printing of nested maybes in `g_variant_print()` (#2862, work by Philip Withnall)
* Use `tap` test protocol within GLib, and support TAP 13/14 (!3140, work by Marco Trevisan)
* Fix a regression in glib-compile-schemas 2.75.2 causing schemas and override
files to be sorted incorrectly (!3188, spotted by John Wudrick, work by Philip Withnall)
* Support per-desktop overrides in `GSettingsAction` (!3193, work by Philip Withnall)
* Various optimisations to `GString` (!3199, work by Matthias Clasen and Marco Trevisan)
* Reduce allocations in message printing functions if there’s nothing to format (!3205, work by Marco Trevisan)
* Add inline version of `g_strdup()`, allowing the compiler to do `NULL` folding
and constant folding on `strlen()` calls (!3209, work by Marco Trevisan)
* Add a `GPathBuf` API for building and manipulating file paths (!3216, work by Emmanuele Bassi)
* Add `g_string_free_and_steal()` and use it to warn on unused results from
`g_string_free (_, FALSE)` (!3219, !3226, work by Matthias Clasen and Sergey Bugaev)
* Add `g_free_sized()` and `g_aligned_free_sized()` to mirror the upcoming
`free_sized()` function in C23; use these if porting away from `g_slice_free()`
(!3231, work by Philip Withnall)
* Fix underspecified dependencies on generated headers in `meson.build`, which
should reduce spurious build failures (!3260, work by Eli Schwartz)
* Bugs fixed:
- #1079 Investigate dropping or deprecating the GSlice allocator (Natanael
Copa)
- #2769 GThreadPool crashes with: Failed to set scheduler settings: Operation

Overview of changes in GLib 2.75.1, 2022-12-21
==============================================
* Add new `GFileInfo` properties for large thumbnails (work by Matthias Clasen) (#621)
* Fix missing input validation in `GDBusMenuModel` (work by Lars Uebernickel) (#861)
* Change default `g_desktop_app_info_search()` algorithm to include substring
matches (work by Alynx Zhou) (#1152)
* Various GVariant security fixes when handling untrusted data (work by
William Manley, Philip Withnall, Simon McVittie) (#2121, #2540, #2794, #2797,
#2839, #2840, #2841)
* Add support for XDG Activation protocol in `GAppLaunchContext` (work by
Ilya Fedin) (#2709)
* Return `application/x-zerosize` rather than `text/plain` as content type for
empty files (work by Philip Withnall) (#2777)
* Deprecate `-Druntime_libdir` configure option because it was unused (work by
Philip Withnall) (#2786)
* Check for snap plugs when accessing portals (work by Robert Ancell) (!3020)

Marco Trevisan) (!3128)

`GPtrArray`s (work by Marco Trevisan) (!3130)
* Change the default D-Bus system bus socket address from
`/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket` to `/run/dbus/system_bus_socket`, in line
with changes in dbus.git. This can now be overridden by passing
`-Druntime_dir=/some/path` at configure time — the default is `/run`, which
should work for all users except distributions where `/run` is not equivalent
to `/var/run`. OS distributors should check that this configured path matches
the runtime directory configured for their D-Bus daemon. (work by

Overview of changes in GLib 2.73.3, 2022-08-05
==============================================
* Revitalize G_REGEX_OPTIMIZE flag and use it to enable PCRE JIT compiler (work
by Aleksei Rybalkin) (!2817)
* Fix some regressions due to the PCRE2 port (work
by Aleksei Rybalkin, Mamoru TASAKA and Marco Trevisan) (!2814, !2827, #2694,
#2699, #2700)
* Fix a pidfd leak that was introduced in the previous release (work by
Christian Hergert) (#2708)
* Support compilation without a C++ toolchain (work by James Hilliard) (!2822)
* GDBus: Use namespace-friendly protocol for Linux message buses, and optionally
other connections (work by Simon McVittie) (!2832)
* Fix potential races in multi-threaded signal connections handling (work by
Marco Trevisan) (!2823)
* Add back gio-launch-desktop to redirect stdout/stderr of launched
GDesktopAppInfo's to the journal with proper parent (work by Simon McVittie)
(!2818, !2819, #2682)
* Executables that are invoked when installing other software, typically
from packaging system triggers, can now be installed into
architecture-dependent locations. Unix OS distributors who install
GLib for more than one architecture in parallel (multiarch or multilib
installations) should consider building with -Dmultiarch=true, installing
the bin/glib-compile-schemas and bin/gio-querymodules symbolic links in
packages for the primary architecture, and omitting those symlinks from
packages for secondary architectures. (work by Simon McVittie) (!2818)
* Some enumerators introduced in previous releases have been changed, for better
introspection results:
- G_MARKUP_PARSE_FLAGS_NONE renamed to G_MARKUP_DEFAULT_FLAGS
- G_TLS_CERTIFICATE_FLAGS_NONE renamed to G_TLS_CERTIFICATE_NO_FLAGS
- G_APPLICATION_FLAGS_NONE was deprecated, use G_APPLICATION_DEFAULT_FLAGS now
(work by Emmanuele Bassi) (!2835)
* gfileinfo: Implement xattr attribute removal (work by madmurphy) (#1187)
* Add support to --delete option to gio set, to unset a file attribute (work by
codeboybebop) (#2588)
* Improve default value of glib_debug option: G_ENABLE_DEBUG will be defined
only if using `--buildtype=debug` or enabled via `-Dglib_debug`, but it
won't ever be set if an optimized build is requested (specifically if the
optimization level is not `0` or `g`) as it may be the case when using
`--buildtype=debugoptimized` (work by Michael Catanzaro) (!2851)
* Probably the first revision of any GNOME module ever released from Cuba :)
* Bugs fixed:
- #566 support using the PCRE JIT
- #1187 xattr add possibility to remove an extended attribute
- #2509 g_spawn_*() is not thread-safe on Windows when an environment table is
provided
- #2542 Flatten line breaks in filenames printed by gio-tool

- #2682 Launching a GDesktopAppInfo "blames" parent process for its output
- #2692 2.73.2: build failure on musl >= 1.2.0
- #2694 Recent GRegex changes break vala-language-server compilation
- #2699 g_regex_match_all fails on s390x with Fedora glib2-2.73.2-4.fc37
- #2700 g_regex_match fails on multiple archs (including x86_64) with Fedora
- #2703 Fix GCancellable tests for Windows 64bit
glib2-2.73.2-4.fc37
- #2705 GResourceFile crashes on `g_file_set_display_name()`

- !2822 meson: fix build without cpp toolchain
- !2823 gsignal: Perform signal unlocked handlers block, unblock and disconnect ops
- !2825 gioenums: G_IO_ERROR_NO_SUCH_DEVICE is new in 2.74
- !2826 GDBus: improve interoperability of SASL handshake
- !2827 gregex: Free match info if offset matching recalc failed
- !2829 gregex: use g_debug instead of g_warning in case JIT is not available

- !2832 GDBus: Use namespace-friendly protocol for Linux message buses, and
optionally other connections

dependency and use libpcre2 instead, while preserving the behaviour and API of
GRegex. G_REGEX_OPTIMIZE and G_REGEX_JAVASCRIPT_COMPAT are now deprecated

Overview of changes in GLib 2.73.1

* Remove the `-Diconv` configure option, as GLib now uses Meson’s built-in logic for
finding which iconv implementation to use (work by Eli Schwartz) (!2734)
* Move gvdb to a Meson subproject and git submodule to avoid duplicating its
source (work by Philip Withnall) (!2733)
