Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.1 to GLib 2.23.2 =================================================== * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this. Packagers will need to adapt to this. * Threading changes: - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly, it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first call. - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically when g_type_init() is called. - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed. * GObject: - Another bunch of performance work has landed * GVariant: - GVariantType has been merged, with the rest of the GVariant API to follow. * Bugs fixed: 568760 nautilus freezes due to a bug in garray.c:322 602417 Document lifecycles of GSimpleAsyncResult and friends 604824 crash in Epiphany: Selecting my Slashdot bo... 448888 don't init g_slice for always-malloc 531902 Use GCC atomic buildins for g_atomic* 554887 boxed type registration is not thread safe 586150 unresolved symbols when building glib 2.21.2 on OS X Tiger 589176 row gvalue transform array exponentially 594872 Support storing assertion messages into core dump 602240 Upgrade libasyncns to 0.8 603590 Speed up G_VALUE_COLLECT 604457 gutf8inputstream.c: increasing unknown size pointer 605686 GCharsetConverter doesn't flush 605733 g_memory_output_stream_new violates GObject standards 605883 g_object_new() processes varargs even when there are none 605977 invalid utf-8 conversion in g_local_file_get_parse_name(... 606775 Enable threads by default in gobject * Translation updates: Asturian Basque Bengali Bulgarian Estonian Norwegian bokmål Spanish Thai Ukrainian
