As our + Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs + in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used + to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain. + +* Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary + directory for each unit test. (#538) + +* Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542) + +* Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191) + +* 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) + +* Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib + and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has + ported entirely to Meson. (#1520) + +* Various fixes to the Meson build. + +* 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) + +* `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See + https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208) + +* Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently + running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app + upgrades with flatpak. (!250) + +* Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor + portal backends. (!317) + +* Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for + debugging. (!384) + +* Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387) + +* Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow + fixes. (!411) + +* Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan). + +* Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in + TLS 1.3. (!478) + +* Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful + for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on + systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489) + +* Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself + is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500) + +* Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection` + and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when + setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This + is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520) + +* Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522) + +* Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528) + +* Bugs fixed: + - #107 The "g_key_file_get_comment" interface returns comment with unexpected new line symbol at the end + - #179 g_object_unref assert in debug code + - #277 'destroy_data' in g_cclosure_new is registered as finalize notifier instread invalidate. + - #538 Add helpers to redirect XDG_*_HOME to a temp dir for unit tests + - #542 gdbus-codegen does not honor "Property.EmitsChangedSignal" annotations + - #656 check for -Werror=format-security broken + - #734 Provide a way to instantiate a GDBusProxy-derived class from a GDBusConnection and a object path without blocking + - #827 gmain: Clarify that g_source_set_callback() is safe on attached sources + - #1055 Provide alignment macros + - #1119 GVolumeMonitor: Results don't reflect current state but state when application was launched + - #1191 add g_assert_equal_variants + - #1261 Add option to leave <default> in gschema empty + - #1271 fstab binds appear as mounts (x-gvfs-hide is being ignored) + - #1310 gdbusproxy: make g-name-owner property useful with unique names + - #1313 Meson: Rework the config.h generation + - #1342 Automatically realign data passed to g_variant_new_from_bytes() or g_variant_new_from_data() + - #1343 g_date_set_parse: Parses "September" in Polish incorrectly + - #1362 Incorrect documentation about GSettings child add/remove notifications + - #1452 GFileInfo: unable to retrieve correct modification time of links and mounted volumes on Windows + - #1471 Incorporate oss-fuzz fuzz targets into GLib + - #1489 Use `ld -b binary` to speed up GResource generation for linking + - #1498 distcheck fails in distclean + - #1506 error: redefinition of typedef 'GKqueueFileMonitor' + - #1509 test_timeval_to_iso8601_overflow: 'out' should be NULL + - #1513 GIcon regression? + - #1514 gio/appinfo test sometimes fails in CI + - #1518 /network-monitor/create-in-thread fails in (LXC) containers on glib-2-56 + - #1520 Change conditions for installing m4 macros + - #1522 Trash not working on NTFS folder accessed from symlink + - #1523 GIO NetworkMonitor doesn't reflect the current network state + - #1525 GTask allows (buggy) application code to cause callback to be called twice, without warning + - #1527 Meson doesn't install data for installed-tests + - #1528 Meson tests are hard to debug in an autobuilder environment + - #1530 tests/mainloop-test appears to be flaky + - #1535 meson: installed-test metadata not run in TAP mode + - #1536 meson: spurious dependencies on convenience libraries in .pc files + - #1537 meson: absolute paths to ${builddir} included in gtk-doc HTML + - #1538 meson: G_HAVE_GROWING_STACK defined differently + - #1539 meson: Some files are unnecessarily installed executable + - #1541 meson: timeloop-closure test not installed + - #1542 meson: /usr/lib/glib2.0/installed-tests/glib/gdbus-peer: error while loading shared libraries: libgdbus-example-objectmanager.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory + - #1544 meson: gtester-report #! not replaced with ${PYTHON} + - #1546 Cross-compilation fails in 2.58 + - #1556 build: Too long file path issue with meson on Windows + - #1562 GDate test suite fails with latest glibc + - #1570 ghash.c:694:27: left shift of 1 by 31 places cannot be represented in type 'int' + - #1572 Flags validation fails + - #1575 g_date_time_format() should have format attribute + - #1576 Fails to build with Meson on Debian armel (armv5te EABI softfloat little-endian) + - #1580 glib-compile-resources using strings breaks building e.g. GTK+ on MS Visual C, which limits strings to 65535 chars + - #1581 Memory used for reference counted data might be misaligned. + - #1588 Moving a bookmark item to the same URI causes a crash + - #1589 g_log_writer_is_journald memoizes a single result, even though it accepts a parameter + - #1590 tests: g-file-info-filesystem-readonly fails if run more than once with fuse & bindfs installed + - #1594 Return value of g_dbus_connection_get_unique_name not annotated as nullable + - #1600 g_timeout_source_new_seconds overflows when given interval > (G_MAXUINT / 1000) + - #1601 appinfo test fix is defective + - #1605 g_date_time_format fails when used with non ASCII format string on POSIX locale + - #1615 gdbus-codegen not generating nullable annotation + - !196 [RFC] build: Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+ + - !200 Add a new GTlsError to indicate protocol downgrade attacks + - !208 GHashTable improvements + - !219 glocalfilemonitor: Fallback to poll file monitor for NFS + - !238 W32 GFileInfo improvements + - !250 Application replace + - !264 glib-compile-resources: encode data as string + - !268 build: simplify alloca checks.
