Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.9 to GLib 2.25.10
====================================================
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| WARNING: There have been API changes in GDBus. Users of these |
| APIs will need to be adapted. In particular, a new release of |
| dconf is required to go along with this one. There has also |
| been a change in the GSettings backend API used for keyfiles. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
* GDBus:
- add direction parameter to filter functions (API change)
- allow calling other interfaces with a GDBusProxy
- padding added to class struct fields (ABI change)
- fixes for closures-based functions
* GVariant:
- new is_floating() call
- add g_value_take_variant() call (required for marshallers)
* GSettings:
- support for binding GParamSpecEnum properties
- ifelse-style condition support for GLIB_GSETTINGS m4 macro
- remove gsettings-schema-convert tool (now in GConf)
- allow introspection of all installed schemas
- allow introspection of the keys in a schema
- rewrite keyfile backend (API change)
* GNIO:
- don't implicitly close GSocket until it is destroyed
- windows fixups
* Other:
- allow GChecksum to take (NULL, 0) for data/length
- GRelation and GCompletion are now deprecated
- introduce G_PARAM_DEPRECATED and G_ENABLE_DIAGNOSTIC
- add working directory to GApplication platform data
- lots of documentation cleanups
- PCRE updated to 8.02
* Build:
- the IA__g_* style symbol aliasing has been disabled and replaced with
the -Bsymbolic-functions linker flag on platforms that support it.
Please be on the watch for portability issues and report them to us.
- many test cases have been moved to the GTester framework
- lcov support has been added for tests
