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.

News
====

* Add various new array functions (#236, #269, #373)
 - `g_array_copy()`
 - `g_ptr_array_copy()`
 - `g_ptr_array_extend()`
 - `g_ptr_array_extend_and_steal()`
 - `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)

* Improve `GNetworkMonitor` detection of offline states (#1788)

* Fix build failure on macOS related to missing `_g_content_type_get_mime_dirs`
  function (#1791)

* Add various installed utilities’ paths to `gio-2.0.pc` (#1796)

* Fix keyfile `GSettings` backend and portal (especially relevant to any version
  of GLib included in a flatpak runtime) (#1822, !985)

* More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)

* Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)

* Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
  higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)

* Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)

* Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
  of packaged libraries (!951)

* Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support
  on Windows (!979)
