I will do the .0 releases of the current glibmm and gtkmm series in the

So, if you have added new API, please take an extra moment to make sure
that you don't need to fix it quickly, because you probably can't break
it later.

The not so extensive newly added Tls* API is pretty much complete.  I
just thought that I would point out a couple of things that struck me as
unusual which I think would be good to be aware of before the stable
release goes out.  Also I have one final question.

May I contribute to the confusion? I think only part of the class structure is in glib. The rest is in a TLS backend (whatever that is). Like so, if I mix C++ syntax with C class and interface names.

In glib

class GIOStream : public GObject
class GTlsConnection : public GIOStream
class GTlsClientConnection : public GInterface
class GTlsServerConnection : public GInterface

class GTlsDatabase : public GObject
class GTlsFileDatabase : public GInterface

In a TLS backend, e.g. glib-networking

class GTlsConnectionGnutls : public GTlsConnection, public GInitable
class GTlsClientConnectionGnutls : public GTlsConnectionGnutls, public GTlsClientConnection
class GTlsServerConnectionGnutls : public GTlsConnectionGnutls, public GInitable, public GTlsServerConnection

class GTlsDatabaseGnutls : public GTlsDatabase
class GTlsFileDatabaseGnutls : public GTlsDatabaseGnutls, public GTlsFileDatabase, public GInitable


g_tls_client_connection_new() returns an instance of a class that derives both from GTlsConnection and from the interface GTlsClientConnection.
g_tls_server_connection_new() returns an instance of a class that derives both from GTlsConnection and from the interface GTlsServerConnection.
g_tls_file_database_new() returns an instance of a class that derives both from GTlsDatabase and from the interface GTlsFileDatabase.
