*** Changes

 

2.53.2 (unstable):

Distro packagers should probably not package this yet.

 

Glib:

* ConstructParams: Do not increment allocation size twice

  (Daniel Elstner)

 

Gio:

* ActionMap: Really fix add_action_with_parameter().

  (Daniel Boles) Bug 774444#c31

* UnixSocketAddress::create(): Remove a default value to avoid

ambiguity.

  (Kjell Ahlstedt) Bug #782592

 

Gio::DBus

* Proxy: Wrap call() and call_sync() methods.

  (Vyacheslav Yurkov) Bug #781818

 

gmmproc:

* Use of static_cast instead of C-style casts.

  (Murray Cumming)

 

Build:

* Fix the build on MacOS, where glib doesn't have gdesktopinfo.

  (John Ralls) Bug #781947

* Really use desktopappinfo.hg to fix the build.

  (Murray Cumming)

 

Documentation:

* Glib, Gio: Update documentation of in-class enums.

  (Kjell Ahlstedt)

* ActionMap: Improve add_action_with_parameter docs

  (Daniel Boles)

 

 

2.53.1.1 (unstable):

 

Glib:

* Use C++11 enum classes instead of old-style enums, and put many enums

  inside relevant class declarations:

  - Glib::NodeTree: Move enums into class.

  - Glib::BindingFlags is now Glib::Binding::Flags.

  - Glib::KeyfileFlags is now Glib::Keyfile::Flags.

  - Glib::ModuleFlags is now Glib::Module::Flags.

  - Glib::ChecksumType is now Glib::Checksum::Type.

  - Glib::Regex: Move enums inside class.

  - Glib::Resource: Move enums into class.

  (Murray Cumming, Kjell Ahlstedt)

* RefPtr: Make this an alias for std::shared_ptr instead.

  - Use std::dynamic_pointer_cast() instead of

RefPtr::cast_dynamic().

  - Use std::static_pointer_cast() instead of

RefPtr::cast_static().

  - Use std::const_pointer_cast() instead of RefPtr::cast_const().

  - When creating RefPtr directly, instead of using create() methods,

    use Glib::make_refptr_for_instance() so the std::shared_ptr has

the

    necessary Deleter.

  (Murray Cumming) Bug #755037

* Remove Glib::WeakRef. Use std::weak_ref instead.

  (Murray Cumming) Bug #755037

* Object: Use g_object_new_with_properties() instead of (deprecated)

  g_object_newv() and (deprecated) GParameter.

  (Murray Cumming)

* IOChannel: Avoid creating a RefPtr to this.

  (Murray Cumming) Bug #755037

* SignalProxy:

  connect(): Signals with non-void return values now have no default

value

  for the "after" parameter, forcing application developers to think

about

  whether they should connect before or after already-connected signal

  handlers, and default signal handlers. This is awkward but necessary.

  Just provide "true" to get the previous behaviour, or use

connect_notify().

  connect_notify(): Signals with void return values have no

connect_notify(),

  because it is not useful with those signals.

  (Kjell Ahlstedt) Bug #126213.

 

Gio:

* Use C++11 enum classes instead of old-style enums, and put many enums

  inside relevant class declarations:

  - Gio::Drive: Move enums into class.

  - Gio::TlsDatabase: Move enums into class.

  - Gio::UnixSocketAddressType is now Gio::UnixSocketAddress::Type.

  - Gio::Mount: Move enums into class.

  - Gio::TlsPasswordFlags is now Gio::TlsPassword::Flags.

  - Gio::IOStreamSpliceFlags is now Gio::IOStream::SpliceFlags.

  - Gio::SettingsBindFlags is now Gio::Settings::BindFlags.

  - Gio::ResolverRecordType is now Gio::Resolver::RecordType.

  - Gio::Socket: Move enums into class.

  - Gio::File: Move some flags enums into the class.

  - Gio::OutputStreamSpliceFlags is now Gio::OuputStream::SpliceFlags.

  - Gio::CredentialsType is now Gio::Credentials::Type.

  - Gio::NotificationPriority is now Gio::Notification::Priority.

  - Gio::FileMonitorEvent is now Gio::FileMonitor::Event.

  - Gio::FileAttributeInfoFlags is now Gio::FileAttributeInfo::Flags.

  - Gio::EmblemOrigin is now Gio::Emblem::Origin.

  - Gio::Converter: Put enums inside class.

  - Gio::ConverterFlags is now Gio::Converter::Flags.

  - Gio::ConverterResult is now Gio::Converter::Result.

  - Gio::AppInfoCreateFlags is now Gio::AppInfo::CreateFlags.

  - Gio::ApplicationFlags is now Gio::Application::Flags.

  (Murray Cumming, Kjell Ahlstedt)

* Remove duplicate ErrorEnum declaration.

  (Kjell Ahlstedt)

* ConstructParams:

  - Remove (hopefully really unnecessary) copy constructor.

  - C++11: =delete the operator=, instead of making it private.

  (Murray Cumming)

* Value:

  - Remove the CType alias, which should be unnecessary.

  - value_custom: Replace a template parameter with C++11 type traits.

  - Value: Only use this specialization if T has

get_base_type().

  (Murray Cumming) Bug #755037

* Variant:

  - operator bool(): Simplify to avoid clang++ warnings.

  - C++11: Variant: Replace throw(std::bad_cast) with noexcept(false).

  (Murray Cumming)

* Socket: Avoid creating a RefPtr to this.

  (Murray Cumming) Bug #755037

 

Gio:DBus:

* Use C++11 enum classes instead of old-style enums, and put many enums

  inside relevant class declarations:

  - Gio::DBus::InterfaceSkeletonFlags is now

Gio::DBus::InterfaceSkeleton::Flags.

  - Gio::DBus::ServerFlags is now Gio::DBus::Server::Flags.

  (Murray Cumming, Kjell Ahlstedt)

 

gmmproc:

* _WRAP_ENUM(): Generate C++ enum classes instead of enums, and let the

enums

  be inside class declarations.

  (Kjell Ahlstedt) Bug #86864

 

Build

* Windows:  Visual Studio builds: Update ABI version

  (Chun-wei Fan)
